SIP 'Building an Inclusive Community Platform' Symposium 2025: Redefining 'Normality' from a Future Perspective Held on March 18 (Wed)

As part of the Cabinet Office's 3rd phase of the Strategic Innovation Promotion Program (SIP), the 'Building an Inclusive Community Platform' Symposium 2025 was held on Wednesday, March 18, at City Hall & Gallery Gotanda. The event aimed to share research results and discuss the direction of social implementation to realize a local community with 'tolerance' and 'autonomy' where diverse people can participate proactively and maximize well-being. In its third year, the theme was 'Redefining Normality from a Future Perspective,' featuring project concept presentations, talk sessions, and exhibitions. Among the highlights, students from Tamagawa Academy presented their 'Our Future Conference' project, including the exhibition 'Everyone's Discomfort Museum,' which visualizes unconscious bias. In the business pitch, where ideas for implementing future 'normality' were presented under the theme of 'Turning Social Issues into Opportunities,' the online program 'MOM UP PARK by Kenko Smile Studio' (presented by Tsukuo Akiko, Executive Vice President of Tsukuba Wellness Research Co., Ltd.), which solves health issues for pregnant and parenting women, was awarded. Despite being held on a weekday, over 300 people attended, both in person and online. We would like to express our sincere gratitude.
