What is a Project?
In Bizjapan, members engage with their interests in the form of “projects.”
“Projects” are done in various ways. Sometimes it can be hosting a workshop aimed towards people outside the community or an event co-hosted with companies. On the other hand it can be a study tour involving many associations or providing workshops exclusively for our members.
The driving force of initiating projects is not a simple “what to do” but rather an intensive process of thinking “what kind of society is ideal for us to live in”. Each project focuses on creating and carrying out their plans to realize it.
