Summer Vacation Special Project: Capture Rare Experiences in Art - Mirasapo x Pal System August 7 (Fri)

DAC Future Support Cultural Foundation (Taito-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Kazunori Ishikawa) and Pal System Federation (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Chairman: Atsuyuki Shibusawa) will hold a collaborative event featuring a "Creative Workshop" and "Job Experience" on August 7, 2026 (Fri) at the Pal System Logistics & IT Experience Facility in Inagi City, Tokyo. This integrated project allows participants to experience logistics and IT, and then express their feelings through art.

First Collaboration Between Mirasapo and Pal System

The "Job Experience" includes sorting tasks using equipment actually used at the Pal System logistics center, as well as learning about the ordering to delivery process using original videos, panels, and tablets. In the "Creative Workshop," participants will express their impressions of the experience program through sketches. The session will last 90 minutes.

This project is the first collaboration between the two organizations, stemming from their shared support for the "Children's Smile Movement" promoted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, which provided an opportunity for cooperation. It is an integrated project where participants experience logistics and IT, and then express their feelings through art.

*This event is a rescheduled session of the event originally planned for June 27 (Sat), which was canceled due to an approaching typhoon.
