In this course, students learned about Shikakeology—the study of designing playful interventions that encourage people to change their behavior—and worked in groups of six or seven on projects aimed at addressing social issues while emphasizing the importance of fun and enjoyment. Each group identified a “problem” on Kwansei Gakuin University’s Nihinomiya Uegahara Campus and created various Shikake to help “solve” it.

What kinds of creative and imaginative Shikake did the students bring to life across the campus? And what did they learn through these projects? You can find out by exploring the presentation materials from their final presentations.
