Calling All Changemakers!

Join us for the fifth Global Goals Jam Tokyo where we will use design thinking and prototype with local players to create local interventions aimed at tackling the Sustainable Development Goals.

The Global Goals Jam is a two day designathon where creative teams work together on local challenges related to the Sustainable Development Goals. Using a tailored design thinking toolkit (the “Jamkit”), we will create interventions aimed at short term targets in support of the long term goals. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), otherwise known as the Global Goals, are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

This year’s theme is “The Regenerative City, Tokyo”

Tokyo is a modern metropolis that has been repeatedly transformed through a series of drastic yet remarkable historical moments, most of which have occurred in the length of a single lifetime.

The preparations for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games has once again shined light on Tokyo’s ability to transform in response to a global sporting event. A number of design interventions have been deployed to make the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games move towards a carbon zero event. But are cardboard beds for athletes and Olympics medals made of recycled cell phones enough?

Can Tokyo, the largest city in the world, stand up to the challenge of becoming a regenerative city?

Key design challenge questions to this year’s GGJ Tokyo theme include:
・How might we create a more healthy and sustainable relationship towards nature in the city?
・How do we close the loops of our urban systems and communities?
・How might we design our cities as ecological systems, so that they not only become sustainable but actively contribute to a thriving planet?
