Talent Education
Fostering future generations is essential. It means empowering individuals by equipping them with creativity, skills and the ability to innovate across different fields. This raises the question: how can we create opportunities that not only nurture individual talent but also unite communities through shared learning and collaboration? The challenge in exploring new educational methods is to create environments that do more than inspire. Cultural spaces offer invaluable opportunities to rethink education. They can move beyond simply passing on knowledge and become dynamic places of co-creation, where learning is inclusive, community-driven and transformative.

SmaGO, an IoT Smart Trash Can Developed with the Global Environment in Mind [8/4].
The IoT smart trash can "SmaGO," developed in consideration of the global environment, is equipped with a solar power generation and storage function using solar panels, and automatically compresses accumulated trash to about 1/5 of its original volume. In addition, a communication function allows the status of trash accumulation to be monitored from a PC or smartphone, enabling efficient trash collection operations. With these functions, technology is transformed into "circulating power" to realize sustainable urban development. As a solution to the problem of littering, especially that associated with over-tourism, which has recently become an issue in many places, the system is widely used in public spaces such as shopping areas, in front of train stations, on public roads, and in parks, as well as in private facilities such as shopping facilities, amusement facilities, and stadiums.

This open, scenic waterfront sauna offers an immersive experience that embodies the theme of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai: "Designing Future Society for Our Lives. Petal-shaped air membrane cushions come together to form a single bud, creating a beautifully dynamic structure that stretches toward the sun, brimming with vitality. The energy of the sun, immersed in the air of the sea, plants, and wind, pours down onto the "TAIYO NO TSUBOMI (Sun Bud)." The delicate yet powerful membrane creates an environment filled with natural energy, harmonizing our minds and bodies and guiding us back to the core of our humanity. The space, enveloped by an ETFE film* membrane that allows natural light to filter through, glows gracefully with LED lighting, harmonizing with the ever-changing nature of Osaka Bay across the seasons and time. The sauna offers a completely new 'co-creation' space, embodying a future society that values “warmth and harmony.” *ETFE film: A high-performance fluoropolymer material that has been processed into a film.

Global Choir for World Peace
Our Co-Creation challenge is to produce a Global Choir concert featuring musicians from around the world performing simultaneously, both live and online. Using innovative technology, the event at EXPO's Festival Station on August 9th aims to provide a platform for people around the world to interact musically in real time. This hybrid concert will combine an online choir and a live band, with music production and musical direction designed to account for the audio delays that occur in online communication. In today's world, you can access daily news from the other side of the globe with just one click. We believe that if more people make friends around the world and view global news as their own, it will help reduce wars and discrimination. The goal of this event is to create global personal connections through online music, so that when people encounter heartbreaking international news, they will think of their friends in those places instead of just scrolling past it. Music has the power to move and unite people, regardless of language, status, or culture. Songs for World Peace is a global initiative involving musicians from about 100 countries, who create and perform songs about peace in their native languages and from their own perspectives. We are committed to spreading the message of world peace through the power of music. We will continue our mission even after the Expo and are looking to partner with educational institutions and organizations from all over the world.

“How to Break the Habit of Bias? ：Promoting Gender Equity in Academia" by Hideko Nishioka
"Unconscious bias" refers to unintentional assumptions or prejudices. It is a significant factor that hinders organizational gender equity and diversity. Maintaining an organization where gender equity and diversity is ensured is essential for each member to be themselves and demonstrate their full potential. This lecture aims to deepen understanding of the knowledge and strategy necessary to break unconscious bias through specific scenarios, and to learn how bias occurs, how to recognize it, and how to overcome it within the organization. Hideko Nishioka is currently Professor and Vice Director of Osaka University’s Diversity & Inclusion Center. She previously worked as a journalist for Mainichi Newspaper and as a staff member of Takamatsu City Women’s Center. In 2018, she invited the director of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Inclusion in Science & Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI) to conduct the “Shearching for Excellence and Diversity Workshop” in Japan, thereby introducing to Japanese institutions a set of procedures recognized by the US National Science Foundation as a leading model for hiring procedures. She conducts field research on gender equity at leading universities in the US, UK, and Germany and has published articles in journals such as Hougaku Seminar (Nihon Hyoronsha). She has also published Japanese translations of the books, Breaking the Bias Habit: A Workshop to Promote Gender Equity , and Searching for Excellence ＆ Diversity: A Guide for Search Committees. Her main research fields are gender law and policy, violence against women and children, and disaster and genderequalty, all grounded in a human rights perspective.

Panel: Gender, Dignity & Social Inclusion
The panel "Gender, Dignity and Social Inclusion" features distinguished experts Hideko Nishioka, Charlotte Pezeril, and Atsuko Miwa, who bring a wealth of knowledge from their respective fields in gender equity, human rights, and social justice. Together, they explore critical issues surrounding the protection and promotion of dignity within diverse social institutions, policies, and cultural narratives. Their collective research and advocacy shed light on persistent challenges such as systemic exclusion, unconscious bias, and stigma, while proposing pathways toward truly inclusive societies that leave no one behind. By combining academic rigor with practical experience, the panelists engage with questions of how institutions like universities and public bodies can move beyond mere diversity policies to actively foster environments of respect, equity, and inclusion. They also address the role of legal frameworks, cultural change, and education in dismantling entrenched inequalities. Through this dialogue, the panel aims to inspire meaningful progress toward gender justice and social dignity on both local and global scales.

Through the power embedded in festivals, performing arts, and traditional crafts, we reexamine the state of our society and corporate cultures today.」（EXPO 2025 Thematic Project “Invigorating Lives” (Producer NAKAJIMA Sachiko)） Transmission of simultaneous interpretation：Provided Language of interpretation：Japanese and English

Martial Arts, Sounds, World
"Wu" symbolizes the artistic spirit embedded in traditional Chinese culture. Rooted in the powerful discipline of Chinese martial arts (Kung Fu), it weaves together the elegance of classical dance, the vibrancy of folk formations, the dynamism of lion dance, and the precision of acrobatics—creating a breathtaking harmony of strength and beauty. At its heart, Kung Fu is not merely physical; it reflects deep philosophical principles, cultivating both body and mind. "Xiang" embodies the rhythm and soul of traditional music. Through instruments such as the drum and the zhongruan, it brings forth a rich tapestry of sound—expressive, emotional, and deeply resonant—drawing the audience into an immersive auditory experience. This performance features children from Japan and Taiwan alongside professional martial artists. Together, they merge "Wu" and "Xiang" to deliver a captivating stage experience that stimulates both the eyes and the ears. More than a showcase of Taiwan’s traditional arts, this international collaboration invites audiences of all ages to feel the vibrant energy and profound spirit of Chinese culture—especially the philosophy and artistry found within Chinese Kung Fu.
