What is the mysterious power of dialogue that allows you to experience "turning differences into strength"?
Attracting attention from all quarters! Guests who practice in a variety of fields will bring the dialogue closer to you!

Shibuya Ward, which has the motto of "Turning differences into power," aims to remain a city where each individual can be unique. At SII Culture Lab*, we focus on the mysterious power of dialogue and aim to advance it in various fields (welfare, culture, education, civic activities, industry, etc.) so that it can be a part of people's everyday lives.

Dialogue, which has been gaining attention recently, is one approach that allows us to experience the power of difference. On the day, we hope to hear from guests who practice dialogue in a variety of fields, allowing us to experience the power of dialogue and increase the momentum to try it ourselves. Please feel free to join us!
