What is the SFC Camp for Designing the Future?

SFC will hold the "Camp for Designing the Future" again this year. While this "camp" is not a literal "encampment," it is an environment where students learn the importance of utilizing their own abilities and experiences on-site and linking creative ingenuity to action. The approaches to various problems advocated by SFC require "the power to execute." Although the "camp" is prepared in advance, specific movements are designed improvisationally according to the situation on the ground. We know from experience that flexible ideas and inspirations are born in unexpected ways and often in informal places. In that sense, you are likely to find many hints for understanding human communication at the "camp." Originally, both "campus" and "camp" are derived from the Latin word "campus," meaning a "flat place" or "open space." The essence of intellectual activity at a university is to share a special time through free and open discussion. The "Camp for Designing the Future" is a place where diverse knowledge and wisdom collide, allowing you to think experientially about the "power to execute" that leads to the future. Together with the peers gathered at the "camp," let's move our minds and bodies busily and take another step toward the future.
