~Kick-off event for the ZA project – A look at the mechanism of digital kids development and local contribution! Online event (free of charge)

The activities of digital kids are now attracting attention. While the flow of people such as immigration and tourism has resumed after the pandemic, the development of next-generation digital human resources and the improvement of digital literacy are urgent issues for local communities and businesses to be reborn while dealing with social problems such as falling birthrates, ageing population and depopulation. The government’s move to establish Super DX schools cannot be overlooked. In this session, experts who are transforming society through education and technology will be invited to discuss how children, who will be responsible for the near future, can use technology to experience learning to contribute to the local community.
