Introduction to Kyushu University × Kao SDGs Creative Collaboration Work Vol.2

The SDGs Design Unit has been carrying out the “Kyushu University x Kao SDGs Creative Collaboration” since May 2018 as the first industry-academia collaboration project. Kao Corporation, creators in Fukuoka City, and students from Kyushu University have been divided into three teams: video, product, and picture book. These works, derived from the new collaboration, will be introduced in three parts.

The second is the work of the picture book team.

■ The Great Indian Cleaning Mission!
This picture book was created from a field survey in a slum area in Bhiwandi (India), interviews with experts, and witnessing overflowing trash in the town. The story incorporated Indian culture and appealed to children to “Stop littering and protect important lives”. In the future, it will be translated into Hindi and Marathi used in Mumbai and distributed to children in Mumbai and Bhiwandi on March 2019. Click here for the work.
