Episode.1

Communication Tools

Communication is one of the most important things for humans.
The means of human communication varies greatly from country to country
and it is always changing with the progress of technology and culture.
In KWN program, various videos on the theme of “Communication,” have been created since KWN started in 1989.

Episode 1 Communications Tools

In Japan 100 years ago, the only way to communicate with families living far away was through post or telegram, meaning we could not get there immediately in case of emergency. On the other hand, communicating through the written word sometimes allows for messages that are more honest and heartfelt than normal conversation, playing an important role for families and friendships. But since the middle of the 20005, Internet and mobile phones have been on the rise and SNS too since 2010. While convenient, it can sometimes be dangerous too. Enjoy the progression of communication tools over 100 years through the eyes of children.

Diversity

The world is full of people, each with his or her own feelings and values,
and categorized into races, nationalities, and gender-related differences.
To understand these “differences,” children need to take a step outside of their own world.
And then they strive to learn the true meaning of “diversity.”

Episode 3 Diversity

The world is full of people, each with his or her own feelings and values, and categorized into races, nationalities, and gender-related differences. It is difficult to comprehend all of them even in one's own country, region, and community. To understand these "differences," children need to take a step outside of their own world. Through their video productions, they seek to find out what the differences are, whether they stem from something like a physical handicap, a culture, or a gender-based minority. And then they strive to learn the true meaning of "diversity."
