Building Communities
How can universal design be applied towards the building of a sustainable community? How can we create community services that will bring the residents closer? The team will visit "Kids and Town Network", an NPO promoting raising children in the community network, "La Cuna Maternity Centre" which supports alternative birth and "Kuni House", a community-run space open for all generations. How design can help build communities will be proposed.

Work & Career
How can men and women working together in the pursuit of meaningful careers? How can design be applied to working environment? These issues will be tackled by interviews with a female manager at Nagoya City Gender Equality Promotion Centre and the Editor-in-Chief of "Travaille", a classified-ad magazine for young women. Team members will bring their own countries' policies on gender equality to do a comparative study amongst different cultures.

Security
How can we make our city safer for women to enjoy city life? What can we do to make young mothers with small children have a better life? The team will experience the woman-only metro introduced by City of Nagoya's Transportation Bureau and meet mothers at Crea Kindergarten which is affiliated with Nagoya University of Arts.

16:20- 16:50 team D
Love & Marriage
How do the perspectives on marriage and relationships affect our life? What is behind the currently much-debated issues such as not getting married, getting married later in life, or declining birthrate? Interviews will be conducted to a wedding producer, and a group of young women of different lifestyles (single/married, freelance/employed, living oneﾕs own/with family etc).

16:50- 17:20 team E
Gender
How can we develop gender-specific design with a social impact to improve our daily life? What are some of the hidden and difference between men and women's perspectives in our daily life? The team will interview a Japanese companies, Nippon Menard Cosmetic, to examine how female designers produce men's commodities and how male designers develop products targeting female consumers. At the same time they will study the end-users by visiting a family of three generation living together in Nagoya to see what a Japanese lifestyle for family is like.
