Japan: Fostering Creativity and Confidence Through the Joint Development of "Programapping"
Independent, Interactive, Deep Learning
Epson Sales Japan and Uni-Ty Inc. have jointly developed an app for students that contributes to the development of digital human resources.
We believe this app is an effective means for improving lessons, aligning with the guidelines of Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to cultivate qualities and abilities through independent, interactive, and deep learning.

Children are full of ideas. We developed Programapping in collaboration with Epson Sales Japan to give children an avenue to tap into those ideas and create original projection mapping content by combining programming thinking with expression and production activities.
I feel that the user-friendly interface and design, insights into which were gained in the development of education apps in our Play & Learn! series, have helped Programapping win over children.
日本／Ｚ世代とのコミュニケーションイベント開催
On August 22-23, 2023, we invited members of nest (SB Japan youth community) to a communication event to communicate with Generation Z.
nest is a community for young people aged 16-25 to learn, think, and communicate with their peers about the essence of social issues and business-based social action.
当社はサステナビリティ経営を推進する上で、多様なステークホルダーとの対話を重視しています。Z世代も重要なステークホルダーの一つと位置付けており、nestメンバーを本社（諏訪市）や富士見事業所（富士見町）にお招きし、2日間にわたって企業の歴史や最新のソリューションに直接触れて頂きながら、さまざまな職場の従業員との対話を行いました。
テーマは企業イメージ、求める未来像、ダイバーシティなど多岐にわたりましたが、いずれもＺ世代らしい新鮮な視点で、かつ鋭く本質を突くコメントも積極的に上がり、双方ともに気づきに繋がる価値ある意見交換が出来ました。
こうした対話が、将来の企業のあり方や価値創出に良い影響を及ぼす事を目指すと共に、将来を担うZ世代のメンバーにも多少なりとも影響を与える価値のある機会であったことを願っています。
当社は従来のステークホルダーの考え方にとらわれず、多様な職種、立場の方々と積極的に対話・連携する事で、持続可能な社会のために価値提供を続けられる企業を目指します。
