The Institute for Social Vision and Design (ISVD) is participating as a cooperating organization in the second installment of the symposium event "Tabi wa Michizure, Yowa no Tane" (旅は道づれ 余話のたね, roughly "Travel with Companions, Seeds of New Stories"), hosted by "MinQ" (みんきゅ~), an initiative dedicated to promoting universal tourism.
Regardless of disability, age, or other barriers, this event invites diverse speakers to share practices and challenges from a universal perspective, working toward a society in which everyone can "set out on a journey that is truly their own."
ISVD, which pursues creative approaches to social themes and facilitates dialogue across disciplines, deeply resonates with the vision of this initiative. We will continue to collaborate with MinQ to advance, through the power of design, "mobility and tourism that leave no one behind."
