Think for Japan
Purpose
In response to the 2011earthquake and tsunami in Japan a group of college students thought that in addition to engaging in the direct immediate relief, they wanted to make sure that there was a space for young people to voice their ideas for the long-term rebuilding and reconstruction of Japan.
Design Challenges
Not common for students and citizens in Japan to address social issues through school or public campaigns.
Results
Use Skype to support college students in Japan to design an experimental Question Campaign with strong visual social media presence and an on-the-ground strategy that turned existing public spaces into venues for everyday people to name and show their question about the future of Japan.
