Tanseisha will be co-hosting the event "Super Welfare School @ SHIBUYA 2025" (sponsored by NPO People Design Institute) to be held at CUBE1, 2, 3 and COURT in "8/" on the 8th floor of Shibuya Hikarie from Tuesday, October 28th to Tuesday, November 4th, 2025 (※), and will be organizing and producing the exhibition, as well as exhibiting our own original exhibition content.
*The event will be held at COURT from Friday, October 31st to Monday, November 3rd.
"Super Welfare School" is a forum event that has been held since 2018, co-hosted by the NPO People Design Institute and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, with the aim of realizing a society in which people can learn and live together, regardless of whether they have a disability or not.
The "Super Welfare Exhibition (official name: 2020 Shibuya. Let's Experience the Daily Life of Super Welfare)," which came to an end in 2020, will be relaunched as "Super Welfare School @ SHIBUYA" in 2021, hosted by the NPO People Design Institute and co-hosted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and Shibuya Ward. Our company has been cooperating with the predecessor event of "Super Welfare School" since 2012, and will be co-hosting the event from 2023.
The symposium held at COURT will feature a diverse range of speakers who go beyond the traditional frameworks of disability welfare and education. Connecting online with not only Japan but also overseas, we will disseminate specific examples and actions related to cutting-edge school education, inclusive education, lifelong learning, and more from Shibuya.
CUBE1, 2, and 3 will feature the "Super Welfare Library," an exhibition and experience space that brings together inclusive play equipment, accessible books, technology, art, music, and other content. The "Super Welfare Library" will present a new way of creating indoor public spaces where people can play and learn using their five senses and enjoy themselves while mingling together.
As original exhibit content, the company will continue to feature "VisualTiles®," an interactive information viewing system developed as a touch panel tool for viewing information such as exhibit content. The company will also exhibit "YU-MO AR," an evolved version of "YU-MO," a diversity content exhibited last year by a deaf employee that allows visitors to experience the daily lives of people with hearing impairments. The product will also use AR (Augmented Reality) technology, and "YU-MO Light," a smart light equipped with an AI-controlled smart switch that can turn lights on and off using finger spelling recognition, which was well received last year.
This year, we also collaborated with Snoezelen Lab to create a space that focuses on sensory diversity, and we provided planning, design, and production advice.
Our employees will be speaking at the symposium on Sunday, November 2nd from 11:00 to 12:30 and on Monday, November 3rd from 17:00 to 18:30.
Through this event, we hope to contribute to promoting diversity and realizing a rich, diverse society by providing a rich and experiential space where diverse people, things, and information can come together.
We look forward to seeing you there.

| Theme and Overview | What is "work that suits me"? - Tanseisha's goal of inclusive work style The Kids Bouquet Project is supported by Tansei Humanet, a group company that specializes in creating spaces. Haruka Abe (a visually impaired person) who launched the "Find a Job That Suits Me Project" as part of the project, and a Tanseisha employee who participated in the project this year will be speaking. This project aims to expand future options for children with disabilities and their families by providing opportunities for company visits and workshop experiences. First, Mr. Abe will introduce the background to the project and specific activities. Next, Tanseisha will introduce its company style, in which employees with disabilities utilize their unique characteristics to work on highly specialized tasks within its business divisions. Current employees will discuss the support systems and working styles they have developed while working with employees who are hearing impaired. Furthermore, with Mr. Abe joining the discussion, we will discuss inclusive working styles from various perspectives. The facilitator will be Kazue Ishibata of Tanseisha, who introduced the "Super Welfare" initiative within the company. Based on the Tanseisha Group's goal of "leveraging diverse individuality to continue challenging ourselves to create spaces that move people's hearts, both now and in the future," she will deliver a message for the future. |
