The social innovation festival “SOCIAL INNOVATION WEEK 2023” will be held from November 6th (Monday) to November 12th (Sunday).
Centering around diversity, the program is structured around five keywords: Shibuya, culture, global, sustainability, and women. With Hikarie Hall as the main venue, we will be creating opportunities to experience new ideas over the course of a week through a hybrid of offline and online events, including talk events, workshops, hands-on events, exhibitions, and networking. We have recently announced the second part of the program.
On November 9th, various stakeholders related to Shibuya held various events, including the announcement of the start of a project to revive "Shibuya tea", which was once called a fantastic tea, and the presentation of prototype ideas for Shibuya souvenirs devised by students of Bunka Fashion College. Implement the program. On November 10th, we will host Mr. Ragnar Thorvardarson from the Embassy of Iceland and Mr. Niina Väisänen from the Embassy of Finland as a keynote program, and we will unravel the secret behind why diversity is important for society and people through case studies. .
In addition, at Hikarie Hall, the main venue, various exhibits and experience booths will be set up for four days from November 9th to 12th, including an introduction to the Hachiko 100th Anniversary Project (HACHI100 Booth).
Please look forward to new projects that will create a better society from SIW. SOCIAL INNOVATION WEEK SHIBUYA 2023 https://social-innovation-week-shibuya.jp

Innovation in urban development: How to create the community-driven complex facility “Ohashi Kaikan”
Ohashi Kaikan is a complex facility that was born as a result of the connections and inspiration of diverse creators. In this session, we will talk about the behind-the-scenes aspects of the project, including how it came to be and how the power of the Ohashi Kaikan community was born.
■14:40-15:00
The phantom tea “Shibuya tea” revival project has started! New experience content that colors Shibuya
Once upon a time, Shibuya was home to vast tea plantations. Shibuya tea also disappeared with the development of Shibuya, but in 2019, ITO EN discovered a sapling that barely existed in Shoto Nabeshima Park, and is currently cultivating the sapling. ``Shibuya tea'', which was once called a fantastic tea, can be cultivated by everyone through urban farming in the city of Shibuya, and you can experience it in a workshop or experience it with cocktails and sweets at restaurants in the city of Shibuya. The project is designed to be developed as souvenir content that can be experienced, and in the long term, mass produced and packaged as tea produced by ITO EN, and developed as souvenir content that can be purchased in the Shibuya area. We are moving towards content creation.

“Shibuya souvenir” idea presentation by students ~SIW CONNECT x Bunka Fashion College~
In collaboration with the ``Next Generation Fashion Business'' class in the 4th year of the Advanced Specialist in Fashion Distribution Department at Bunka Fashion College, students will present prototype ideas for Shibuya souvenirs. In class, students identify issues, research market trends, and design product concepts. They create samples that embody the actual ideas, and display the created samples at the venue. Please take a look at the souvenirs unique to Shibuya that combine students' free ideas and social issues.
<Bunka Gakuen Educational Corporation Bunka Fashion College Fashion Distribution Advanced Specialist Course>
We develop human resources who can build new business development while acquiring an international mindset. Students will also acquire the ability to adapt to industry through collaborations with companies and internships.

Shibuya Future Projection - Envisioning Shibuya and society 100 years from now -
100 years ago, the concept of a ``simple skate car'' was envisioned by the Japanese people of the Taisho era as a satire of society 100 years from now. Exactly the electric kickboard of today. However, the arrival of the Internet could not have been predicted. People always think about future societies and cities. How will the students studying urban design imagine 22nd century society and Shibuya 100 years from now? Communication systems, transportation systems, environmental technology, culture... boldly conceive and envision future systems in various fields.
Participants: 3 teams of Tokyo City University Nakajima Laboratory students and guest advisors
<Tokyo City University Nakajima Laboratory (Urban Space Creation Laboratory, Faculty of Urban Lifestyle Studies)>
Established in 2017 under the direction of Associate Professor Shin Nakajima, this laboratory conducts practical research projects targeting real spaces, from theoretical research to practical research on the creation of urban spaces, with the theme of urban design. There are 22 students enrolled, and they are active in the field mainly in Tokyo.

What is the sustainability of “work clothes” as a student?
Click here to apply for participation (free) https://siw2023day3workshopaoyama.peatix.com/
The apparel industry has a large environmental impact, including CO2 emissions and water pollution, as well as product manufacturing processes, sales logistics, and disposal, and there are so many issues that the apparel industry alone cannot solve.
By reconsidering the role of "business wear" together with students who are future businesspeople, we will have a discussion with experts about how companies and society as a whole can act with an awareness of issues, rather than just individual efforts. . We look forward to your participation.
<Number of people/participation fee>

How can we create a society where working Generation Z can choose from a wide variety of business wear with confidence?
With the diversification of work styles, there are more options for clothing when working. Although some companies have dress codes and clothing guidelines, it can be difficult, especially for new employees, to think about what to wear depending on the occasion and the person you're meeting.
Members of Shin Shigoto Clothing Lab and Generation Z businesspeople will discuss the awareness of each generation regarding "diverse business wear."
