Apr 8, 2025
大日本印刷株式会社(本社:東京 代表取締役社長:北島義斉 以下:DNP)は、2025年日本国際博覧会(大阪・関西万博)のバーチャル会場である「EXPO 2025 バーチャル万博 ~空飛ぶ夢洲~」に、“未来のまなび”を共創する場「きづきの杜(もり)」*1を2025年4月12日(土)公開します。利用者は本バーチャル空間内の森を散策し、文化財やいきものとの出会いを通じて、学びのきっかけとなる「気づき」を触発する体験ができます。
技術革新やAIの登場などを背景に、社会の変化が急速に進む中、未来を切りひらく人材の育成が急務となり、学校現場では探究学習の導入が進められています。DNPは、“探究的・創造的な学び”を支援するプラットフォームとコンテンツを提供する事業開発を目指し、大阪・関西万博の期間中にバーチャル会場に構築した「きづきの杜」を活用した実証を実施します。
Development and Aims
DNP is a Gold Partner sponsoring the signature pavilion, Playground of Life: Jellyfish Pavilion, which gives expression to the ideas of “play” and “learning”. The pavilion has been produced by Ms. Sachiko Nakajima, and we support her concept of "transcending borders, race, age, and social position to enhance life and co-create hope for the future." DNP is involved in planning and producing the pavilion's exhibits and hands-on experiences.
As a result of this sponsorship, DNP will unveil Kizuki-no-mori at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, taking advantage of our accumulated strengths in information processing technology and communication creation. We will create a learning experience designed to develop the power to pioneer the future, anticipating an era in which people inter-connect, and diverse cultures and societies stimulate one other.
Demonstration using the virtual venue "Kizuki no Mori"
We will collaborate with Education organizations, local governments, private businesses, and others to promote initiatives that utilize the digital space "Kizuki no Mori" from the following perspectives:
- Demonstration of experience design that stimulates awareness and leads to exploratory and creative learning
- Demonstration of exchanges that transcend the boundaries of schools and communities, and international exchanges that connect Japan and overseas
- Considering the use of virtual venues in inquiry-based learning at schools
