[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.
Why we are in a unique position to approach this challenge:
- We have already been contacted by local governments in Japan.
Why have chosen to approach it in this way:
- We are already creating video content for Cardano and Catalyst.
Who our project will engage:
- We will engage directly with elected officials and policy makers in Japan.
What we will produce:
- We will provide educational videos detailing the knowledge and resources that local Japanese governments need in order to consider Cardano for innovation.
What will happen:
-
Local governments in Japan will be presented with fresh new ideas on how to revitalize depopulated areas and serve their aging communities through Cardano and Catalyst.
-
We will be able to communicate the message of Cardano and Catalyst directly to decision-makers and people of influence within the government of Japan - something that is not possible to do through traditional media, PR, or awareness campaigns.
[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
To quote the challenge description, we wish to answer the call to action.
The call to activate the Cardano community's ability to recognize and reward the opportunity to make the world a better place.
We have lived and worked in Japan for many years.
Japan is very near and dear to our hearts, and we have grown intimately familiar with many of the socio-economic challenges that our country faces.
We see a great opportunity for the Cardano community to offer its strength and support to these challenges.
By presenting local governments in Japan with the knowledge and resources needed to begin innovating with Cardano - we believe we can provide a fresh, new approach to making the world a better place for Japan's depopulated towns and aging communities.
