How Nonprofits Are Using NFTs to Foster Cultural Democracy


Euroculture students are encouraged to use AI tools to find case studies. I recommend using Perplexity, as it clearly provides sources. When searching, you may use the term "socially engaged art" instead of "social design." Try to find a creative initiative that addresses social issues you are concerned about.


Handai students are strongly encouraged to visit one of the recommended projects or similar design activities in the Kansai area. Please note that there may sometimes be an admission fee. Be considerate not to disturb people who are working on site. Alternatively, you can explore online initiatives that engage in social issues.
