A creative laboratory with a real-world purpose

Bringing a peace experience to Fuji Sanctuary

No experience with technology is required.

Curiosity, creativity, and a willingness to collaborate are enough.

This October, a prototype experience will be presented at Fuji Sanctuary in Japan — a place where people from many nations, cultures, and traditions gather in support of peace.

Collaboratorium is the creative laboratory helping bring that experience to life.

Participants will work in small interdisciplinary groups to explore ideas, create simple prototypes, test them, and share what they learn.
