It is expected to be hot, so don’t forget to stay hydrated. *The “Kininaruki Exhibition” sponsored by Anabuki Design College will also be held at the same venue from 10am to 5pm from August 1st to 31st. ■Web3.0 technology that supports the experience: A new form of participation Participation in these programs will be accepted through the LINE app “Co-creation App” developed by Co-creation DAO. This will provide new digital value in addition to traditional tourism experiences. • Easy to join with LINE, automatically generate digital ID: Even if you don’t have any special knowledge of web3.0, just register with LINE and you will get a decentralized ID (DID) that will be engraved on the Cardano blockchain, so anyone can easily
participate. This decentralized ID will be made into a policy as a key technology in 2024, and is expected to become more widespread in the future. • Issuance of “Digital Proof of Participation” using Cardano technology: When you participate in the program, you will be issued a verifiable credential (VC) using Cardano’s ID technology as proof of your participation. This will be an immutable “digital memento” that will serve as proof of your individual contributions to the community. • Points system to track contributions: The points awarded for participating in the program, including the awarding and use of points, will be recorded on the Cardano blockchain, along with all transaction history. This allows individual contributions to be visualized and accumulated with a high degree of transparency. ■Comments from related parties

This is a new value unique to web3.0 that has the potential to be used as proof of activity for summer vacation independent research and inquiry-based learning. In the future, we would like to digitally prove the contributions of the students who support the operation and develop it into a system that directly connects to their career development. We aim for this “community x art x education” co-creation model to grow into a valuable and sustainable ecosystem for the participants, students, and local community. ”

This
collaboration with Co-creation DAO is a great opportunity for students to get out of the classroom and experience the power of design in the real world. Our school will start a new “Regional Design Department” next year, and will further strengthen practical learning rooted in the community. We look forward to building a sustainable partnership together, driven by the students’ “interest” and using this wonderful connection as the first step.” ■Organization overview Co-creation DAO: An organization that uses web3.0 and DAO technology to plan and execute regional revitalization projects in Japan.
