Program Overview

Over the past few years, an idyllic, uninhabited island in Hiroshima has transformed into a global tourist destination. Hundreds of thousands of international and Japanese tourists cross the Setouchi Inland Sea by ferry to Ōkuno-shima for a single reason: the cute little bunny rabbits. Isolated from predators and well fed, the island is home to a growing population of rabbits that has become a magnet for animal-lovers and photographers alike. Despite the huge influx of people visiting “Rabbit Island” however, economic benefits to the surrounding towns have been minimal, due in part to a lack of dining and lodging options. At the same time, environmental experts are now sounding warnings against overfeeding by tourists, which they fear may be leading to an unsustainable rabbit population.

This 7-day program combines in-class education with on-site field experience for graduate participants to develop skills in ideation, prototyping and entrepreneurship. Participants will go into the community of Tadanoumi, the gateway town to “Rabbit Island” to engage in hands-on project work to design possible solutions to the issues and challenges regarding food and dining. The goal will be to reframe a problem into an opportunity using the principles of entrepreneurial thought and action. Participants will work in teams with Japanese and international participants from Hiroshima University to present a business idea at the end of the course. The course will feature workshops using innovative cooking appliances and Lego bricks to stimulate reflection and facilitate learning. Additional visits to local businesses and organizations will enable participants to talk to Japanese entrepreneurs about food-related innovation. In addition, participants will learn how to develop simple smartphone apps using the MIT App Inventor platform.

Language

Lectures and groupwork will be conducted primarily in ENGLISH. Some limited Japanese-English language assistance will be provided as necessary, including translation for special lectures by Japanese speakers.
