The social innovation festival “SOCIAL INNOVATION WEEK 2023” will be held from November 6th (Monday) to November 12th (Sunday). We have just announced the fourth installment of our program.
At the conference, November 9th will be Shibuya Day, and we will introduce the projects that Shibuya City is promoting. In ``Schools of the Future: The Possibilities of Learning and Play'', experts from Japan and abroad discuss what ``schools of the future'' should be like, where people can acquire the skills to live a better life in the future. I would like to talk to you. On November 12, ``Future Tourism'' will welcome Kenji Kobashi, event planning producer for the 2025 Osaka/Kansai Expo, to discuss possibilities from multiple perspectives, including the creation of sustainable tourism areas.
The idea session will be titled "How to Create a Full Life," and will feature freelance announcer Rio Hirai, with the keywords of enriching well-being and well-doing.
Additionally, on November 11th, we will be holding a “Workshop to ‘Update Udon’ from Shibuya!”

Schools of the future: Possibilities for learning and play
Children are the ones who create the future. In Shibuya Ward, we are working on education to help each child develop his or her individuality and foster forward-thinking and flexible thinking, with the aim of becoming Shibuya Ward's future vision of ``a city that turns differences into power.'' Masu. In this session, we will discuss cutting-edge "education" in Shibuya and around the world, and what should the "school of the future" be like, where people can acquire the skills to live a better life in the future.

A workshop to “update udon” from Shibuya!
Application for participation: https://siw2023day3workshop2.peatix.com/
Shibuya is a place where diverse people gather and continue to create Tokyo's and Japanese culture. This is a workshop to update the traditional Japanese food, udon, from this city that is always at the cutting edge. What is the concept of global and sustainable udon noodles in the future? What is the shape of udon that is not only delicious, but can also become the soul food of future generations of Japanese people in this era of 100-year lifespans? Let's think about it as a group.
We will be inviting Mr. Maeda, president of "Hanamaru Udon", which first opened Sanuki Udon to Shibuya in 2002 and is planning a rebranding in the spring of 2024, to personally announce the new type of udon that everyone has come up with.
Would you like to come up with a concept that will become the standard for choosing udon noodles in the future?
*On the day of the event, we are planning a workshop where you can sample Hanamaru's udon and soup stock.

Tasty solutions to hidden social issues -Upcycle healthy beer snacks-
There are over 700 breweries in Japan, and the opportunities to drink a variety of beers have increased. On the other hand, the treatment of malt residue, which is generated in large quantities during the beer manufacturing process, is generally treated as industrial waste, which poses not only cost issues but also environmental concerns. However, malt residue is rich in nutrients such as high protein, high dietary fiber, and low sugar content, and is attracting attention as a superfood. We will show you how we transformed this material, which is difficult to eat as it is due to its high fiber content, into something delicious.

Experience new art at Technology x Shibuya Culture – Towards DIG SHIBUYA 2024
A session that digs deeper into the technology x art event "DIG SHIBUYA" to be held in Shibuya Ward in 2024.
DIG SHIBUYA is a project that began in an attempt to redefine Shibuya, the city where not only clubs and live houses but also street culture were born, as a world-class cultural asset. How can Shibuya be further updated by combining all kinds of creativity and art with the city as a whole and incorporating the power of technology?
The event will be held for three days from January 12th to 14th, 2024. We will also hold a traveling showcase event, giving people from Japan and overseas the opportunity to have fun and try out new technologies.
This time, in addition to the official event, we will also be recruiting art and technology businesses as collaboration partners in September. Partners selected from the open call will also be on stage to talk about the project as a whole and develop it into an event in January.

tourism of the future
The harmonization of local culture, traditions, natural resources, landscapes, and other things that should be preserved for the future, as well as inducing new changes, will be an important element in creating future tourism areas.
Currently, the keyword "sustainable tourism" is attracting attention in the global tourism market, and Japan's potential is highly evaluated around the world. We will discuss the possibilities from multiple perspectives, including the development of sustainable tourism areas promoted by the Japan Tourism Agency.
