Talent Education
Fostering future generations is essential. It means empowering individuals by equipping them with creativity, skills and the ability to innovate across different fields. This raises the question: how can we create opportunities that not only nurture individual talent but also unite communities through shared learning and collaboration? The challenge in exploring new educational methods is to create environments that do more than inspire. Cultural spaces offer invaluable opportunities to rethink education. They can move beyond simply passing on knowledge and become dynamic places of co-creation, where learning is inclusive, community-driven and transformative.

A Look Back Into Osaka Expo ’70
55 years have passed since the last world expo in Osaka.

Multiple master students from the department of Japanese Studies at KU Leuven (Belgium) will each present their part of a research project that was hold during 2024 in anticipation of the 2025 Osaka/Kansai World Expo. This project was formed as a collaboration between KU Leuven Japanese Studies, who conducted the research, and BelExpo who granted access to the BelExpo archives in Brussels. Topics explore facets of Belgium's participation in the '70's expo, media coverage, as well as the social environment in which this expo took place in Japan. This way, the conference aims to connect the current World Expo with its predecessor of 55 years ago from a historical point of view. Specifics: • When? 18 August 2025 (Monday). 14-16h (entrance 13:45) • Where? Event Centre of the Belgian Pavilion (F3) at the 2025 Osaka/Kansai World Expo, Yumeshima. • Who?

Experience Noh in a hakama!Connecting to the future with the power of traditional arts
Pray for world peace through 「Noh」prayer rituals。Mostening people's hearts with the power of traditional performing arts。Japan is a country full of rich nature and has always worshiped nature。It is believed that gods reside in all nature things and peaple and unique festivals and culture have taken root there。Noh which has its roots in Sarugaku has been passed down for 1300years as an offering to the gods and was perfected by father and son Kan'ami and Zeami in the Muromachi period,and is still being passed down to this day。The stage decorations are not luxurious but a subtractive world。It's what you imagine add to embellish and watch。The Sengoku period warlords who ruled the world such as Oda Nobunaga,Toyotomi Hideyosi,and Tokugawa Ieyasu,enjoyed and valued Noh。Waching and experiencing Noh will change the way you see world。And listen to the Voiceless and see the invisivle。In today's world of constant conflict,calm your anger,respect life,accept others,and look at yourself。The first 15 people will be asked to wear hakama and Noh masks。Let's all sing and dance Noh and pray for peace。

【Czechia】Caslavska - Tokyo - 1964
1st Performance: Door open 15:30, Start 16:00, End 17:10 2nd Performance: Door open 18:00, Start 18:30, End 19:40 *This performance is intended for Czech and/or Japanese speaking audience. Thank you for your understanding* *Entry during the performance is not permitted. Please refrain from leaving during the performance. Ticket holders are kindly asked to line up at least 30 minutes before the show starts. Seats will be given to customers on the waiting list 10 minutes before the performance begins.* The production narrates the story of Věra Čáslavská’s success at the Tokyo Olympics. It is no historical reconstruction, but rather a fictional story spiced with fable and fairy-tale motifs that merely stems from certain real events. Besides the birth of (not only) sports legend Věra Čáslavská, who won the hearts of the Czech and Japanese public in her time, the production also tells another story: that of Japanese-Czech encounters manifested not only through the characters as such, but also through the cast. Indeed, half of the performing puppeteers in the production are Czech and the other half are Japanese. They can thus look beyond the story and explore our common and different characteristics and the inspiration we can draw from each other. Two sports commentators – one Japanese and one Czech – take us through the Tokyo 1964 Olympic Games, and thus the whole story, just like in a live broadcast. They comment, narrate and translate everything, making the story comprehensible and partly mysterious for both Japanese and Czech audiences. The production combines various forms of puppet, object and shadow theatre and projections. “The mutual awareness of and interest in Czech and Japanese cultures is surprisingly strong in both countries, despite their great distance and differences. The story of Věra Čáslavská, her success at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo and the spell she had over the Japanese sports fans plays a significant role in this. Indeed, both countries saw the 1960s quite similarly in many respects until 1968. For the Czech and the Japanese alike, it was a period of hope, optimism and also a return to the world stage after years of isolation. In the 1960s, the trajectories of the two countries diverged dramatically due to the Soviet occupation, and Czechoslovakia fell into another dark period that only ended in 1989. In relation to Japan, the visit of Václav Havel in 1992, accompanied by no other than Věra Čáslavská, was a symbol of renewed reciprocal encounters and co-operation. When we were looking for a theme for a Czech-Japanese co-production, as an opportunity to meet and get to know each other through creation, the choice was thus quite obvious.” Tomáš Jarkovský, author of the play.
