In Shibuya, Tokyo, several initiatives have been launched to promote inclusive education and accessibility for children with diverse needs.

On October 10, NPO Minna no Code hosted a symposium at the Google Shibuya office titled ‘Universal Design for Learning x Technology for Child-Centered Learning.’ The event explored the use of generative AI and ‘vibe coding’ to support educational requirements, featuring a keynote by Professor Maya Israel and discussions with special education and ICT experts.

Simultaneously, the Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery began the ‘Koen’ program, a collaboration with Studio oowa running through November 8, 2026. This initiative focuses on making art more accessible to children with intellectual disabilities by providing sensory-friendly spaces. The program integrates expertise from special needs teachers and artists through lectures, theatrical performances, concerts, and workshops designed to foster interaction between children with and without disabilities.
