The Institute for Social Vision Design (ISVD) is participating as a cooperating organization in the third installment of "Tabi wa Michizure, Yowa no Tane" (旅は道づれ 余話のたね, roughly "Travel with Companions, Seeds of New Stories"), a universal tourism symposium hosted by MinQ.

After two editions in Tokyo, the symposium expands to a regional city for the first time. In collaboration with the City of Nagoya, the event will feature a diverse lineup of speakers, including public speaker Ami Sano, to discuss the future of travel and outings that everyone can enjoy regardless of disability or age.
