"For children who can create from 0 to 1." The new form of education envisioned by Nail School ViVi #April Dream

Towards a future where children can create something with their own hands. Nail School ViVi is committed to education that fosters the 'power to create from 0 to 1' through nail art. At its core is a strong desire to create a society where every child can shape their own potential. ■ The background of the dream 'What kind of skills should this child acquire for the future?' This is a question many parents face in an era of rapid change. We believe that what is needed in the future is not just the ability to solve problems with correct answers, but the 'power to create something that does not yet exist.' With the rise of tablet learning and social media, children are surrounded by information-based 'correct answers.' We felt that opportunities to freely think and create are becoming rare. That is why we thought: Can the power to create from 0 to 1 be nurtured through more enjoyable, accessible experiences? ■ The future ViVi wants to create We want to create a society where children can 'create from 0 to 1' with their own ideas. The experience of thinking from scratch, shaping it with their own hands, and saying 'I made this' builds thinking skills, expression, perseverance, and the confidence that 'I have the power to create.' ■ Why nails? Nails are small canvases. There are no set answers; what to draw and what colors to use are completely free. This process is the very essence of creating from 0 to 1. When children finish, they say, 'I thought of this myself!' That phrase is the beginning of creative power. ■ Initiatives We provide education for elementary and junior high school students that values 'thinking and shaping.' Our curriculum is designed to provide the experience of creating from 0 to 1. In class, children mix colors themselves. From small ideas like 'What happens if I mix these?', new colors are born. It fosters the sense of 'creating it yourself' rather than just using what is given. Based on monthly themes, children think of their own designs. There is no right answer. The process of trial and error is what cultivates the power to create. We conduct a unique 'Junior Nail Certification' to evaluate the process, including the ability to shape ideas and the effort put into it, leading to children's confidence. ■ Thoughts on the future We want to be a place where we can witness the moment children 'create something for the first time.' We believe that the experience of 'creating from 0 to 1' will change their future. We will continue to support children so they can create their own future.
