The future is not just something that happens to us – the real question is how we ourselves can shape it. How can human beings become active creators of change in society, in health, in cooperation, and in creativity?

This event at the Osaka World Expo explores these questions through talks, research insights, and a short film premiere, demonstrating how human beings can act as the driving force of future societies.
