What would society be like in the future? This class sets off by imagining that society of the future will be a “Creative Society” where each and every person makes full use of their own creativity that they originally hold within themselves. In a creative society, it will become a commonplace for everyone to “create” in many different fields and domains. More than anything else, “creating” will come to symbolize the richness and happiness of life and living.
In the past, “Information Society,” which began with the advent of the Internet, changed our lives, organizations, and society. In the same way, the arrival of Creative Society will bring enormous change in the way we live, organize and live in society. Imagining what those changes are and what they will bring is an important in preparation for the future.
To prepare for such a future, this class welcomes guests engaged in creative practice and research to hold dialogue and deepen our vision of the future of a “creative society.” The final goal of this class is for each student to be able to bring together the ideas and approaches learned in each dialogue in the form of pattern language and link them to their own future practice.
We will invite guests who are involved in creative activities related to the Creative Society for lectures and discussions. In this year’s class, we will invite fascinating researchers from abroad as guest speakers for lectures and dialogue.
