The "SDGs Humor Illustration Exhibition," which debuted in Tokyo in 2020 and is currently touring nationwide, has overturned the image of the SDGs as a hot topic but seemingly difficult. Ryo Honda, the mastermind behind this exhibition and a former Dentsu Inc. creator, will speak at the online symposium "Learn with SDGs! How to Create Ideas to Save the World with Fun" on July 21. Participants are currently being recruited.
What are the key points for transforming difficult and complex information into something anyone can understand and truly connect with? Mr. Honda will speak about this creative thinking, based on his own practical experience.
Ryo Honda's book: 'The Book That Makes the Seemingly Difficult SDGs Easy to Understand at a Glance'
This book, inspired by the words of a junior high school student moved by an exhibition, was published on June 1st.
