Title:	Industry-University Collaboration X Future of Resilience Workshop “Designing Resilience-based Projects: for Innovation of Safety & Security”
Aim:	Committing to dialogues by overcoming differences in backgrounds and expertise with the focus on problem-solving approach based on “resilience”
Venue:	Higashi-Ichijokan, Kyoto University
Date:	Thursday March 3 2016
Summary:	Participants: GSS students/ People in Business or Non-profit Organizations/ GSS faculties GSS held Industry-University Collaboration X Future of Resilience Workshop “Designing Resilience-based Projects -for Innovation of Safety & Security-” with Taisei Corporation and others on March 3rd. The workshop aimed to create new problem-solving-focused projects for safety and security through collaborations by overcoming differences in backgrounds and expertise among students and business people outside Kyoto University. Overall, 50 people including business people and GSS students/faculties joined the event. First, Mr. Shinji Ono from Taisei Corporation and I provided inspirational sessions for “resilience”, and then with the ideas from the sessions, participants engaged in a series of group dialogues proactively and constructively to seek how to design social innovation for safety and security with resilience. Participants seemed they found significance of problem solving-focused dialogues beyond boundaries, and a few people provided me with positive comments, such as a person who said “ I would like to apply this approach to daily activities”. It was impressive to see GSS students initiated dialogues by utilizing leadership or communication capabilities they have cultivated through the GSS Program, and I saw a great possibility for their future roles.
