"Code for Japan Summit 2021 Online with Tohoku" will start! This year is 2021, and 10 years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake. The Great East Japan Earthquake 10 years ago is one of the origins of Civic Tech in Japan. Currently, people involved in Japanese Civic Tech are still active under the impact of the new coronavirus. It is an opening ceremony that introduces respect for them and the highlights of the first day!

Exactly ten years ago, the Great East Japan Earthquake became an unforgettable memory for all of us. As a specialist in personal identification using biometric data, I personally assisted in the identification of the deceased at the scene of the disaster. I would like to talk about what I learned as I became acutely aware of the gap between academia's research and real-life problem-solving. Since the great earthquake, I have been in touch with the management of universities, and I continue to search for a way for universities to boost reconstruction and become an engine for urban development.

This year's Code for Japan Summit aims to be an event that is easy for beginners to participate in. It's difficult to have a 50-minute session, but some people may be able to talk in 5 minutes. This short presentation tournament welcomes beginners' presentations! We ask the presenters to include "I tried something like this" and "I'm looking for friends because I want to do something like this" in the 5-minute presentation. Everyone, please support their "first presentation"!

Title : Follow the road of Fukushima with "Mapillary". Introducing "Mapillary", a street-level photo sharing service called "Street View made by everyone". We look back on the roads of Fukushima that OSM Fukushima members have seen through "Mapillary" for over 5 years.

In this session, we will introduce examples of how people with disabilities are engaging in civic tech activities from their own perspective by receiving programming education.

In 2020, the world is engulfed in the fury of infectious diseases! The sea withered, the earth was torn, and it looked as if all the worthwhile things had died. But the Civic Tech hadn't died! This is the epic story of the ”Code for Co-op”, which stands up and spins to create a new reward for the Civic Techers.

Code for Japan NP Tech aims to solve social issues through cooperation between NPOs and engineers.This session will focus on how engineers are working with NPOs. The panelists, who are active in the field of social issues, will discuss future prospects. Ten years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, one of the changes in society is co-creation and collaboration by cross-border human resources.We are recruiting a wide range of IT personnel and positioning them as Social Technology Officers, and we are coordinating the collaboration between Social Technology Officers and NPOs. In addition, from 2021, as a new approach to co-creation that uses IT to change the future, we have developed a learning and accompaniment program called "NPTech Studio" with Kazuhiro Ohara, author of "Process Economy. IT that arises from the field of social issues is full of ingenuity to improve social issues.

This year, a task force on "Public Administration and Service Design" was launched within the service design community called Service Design Network Japan. The term "service design" is included in the local government DX promotion manual released this year, but it is not easy to grasp, and I hear people say they do not know where to start. At the Code for Japan Summit, I would like to talk about the background of the development of the playbook and its future development.

We will consider programming education in early childhood and childhood from the perspective of "composition". There are many programming elements in composition, such as thinking about the number of notes in one bar, thinking about chord progressions according to the law, and thinking about the melody that matches it. I will think about such activities, including what I actually practice in my kindergarten.

"Hoikutas" is a platform for childcare providers across the country to share their problems in the childcare field. We also share "what went well" and "what didn't go well" for healthier child growth. I speak about Hoikutas, with the following objectives 1. To support childcare providers by thinking about issues in childcare with many people, not just those in the field. 2. To support the healthy growth of children and the happiness of families who use childcare services. 3. To help the audience understand that childcare creates the foundation for a prosperous future for all of us, and to provide opportunities for action. I would like to work with more people on childcare so that everyone can feel that children grow through experiences every day.

As research shows that investing (educating) in infants is the most important thing for the country, the work of a childcare worker who is closely related to children is a very important job. However, the current situation is that there is a shortage of childcare workers and many childcare workers quit every year. What are the childcare workers suffering from? You are told that : You are not sure what you are doing. It's a job that anyone can do. It's just a playful job. There are current conditions and issues in the field of early childhood education. Among them, there are childcare workers who do their best for children and parents. By telling these things, I'd like to tell how important a childcare worker is.

We would like to introduce the various developments of Decidim and think together about the future participatory consensus building platform.

In recent years, we often hear about "smart city" activities. Local governments, governments, major companies, etc. are participating in activities to solve regional issues using technology all over the country. In the context of the need for "citizen-centered urban development," I believe it is desirable for citizens themselves to be the starting point.In this session, I will introduce the cases that are being promoted by "citizen origin" and "citizen's strong collaborative participation". I will talk about delicious topics that will inspire people who are facing challenges across the country.

In this program, I introduce some examples of how we solve administrative problems using resident points, a feature of the GIS operated by our city, and how we deal with COVID19 using GIS. Resident points are plots of basic resident register information on a map as GIS points. All the information of about 120,000 residents is maintained on GIS, which was born from the experience of the Great East Japan Earthquake. In order to provide safety and security to the residents and improve their lives, we have placed "people" at the center of the system, and by placing resident points in geospatial space, the city staff can feel each citizen as a real person. This has created the communication with residents and the possibility of new activities.

I want to do Civic Tech locally small town at Code for Japan Summit in 2020, It's been a year since I talked. We launched "Code for Owari" in May 2021. In July, we signed a "Partnership Agreement on Promotion of Utilization of Information and Communication Technology" with Fuso Town, Niwa District, Aichi Prefecture. Civic Tech in a small town faces many local issues. Here's an introduction to the daily life of Code for Owari.

In this session, we will look back at 10 years of Civic Tech history. At this year's Code for America Summit, Ms. Jennifer Pahlka, who is former executive director of Code for America, gave a speech about the beginning of Civic Tech. Code for Japan will also present the history of Civic Tech ten years after its birth, based on articles written by Shirakawa of Niigata University. On the day of the summit, we are planning to set up live viewing of the summit at venues in Niigata Prefecture and broadcast it.

Last year we developed "SDGs and Civic Tech" at the Code for Japan Summit 2019. And we gave a lecture and discussion about new coronavirus infection control, SDGs, and Civic Tech. This year, Professor Fumiyo Murayama of the International Green Mapmakers Advisory, a global practitioner of SDGs Green Map using OSM OpenStreetMap to make it sustainable by SDGs (Associate Professor, Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences, Azabu University / Visiting Professor, Musashino University) Introduced examples in Japan as "SDGs Green Map to grasp the region from the viewpoint of SDGs", and "SDGs / DX and OSM" by Motohiko Nagaoka (Associate Professor of Regional Cooperation Platform), etc. We would like to think about it together.

We talk about human diversity through different perspectives, and the need for a society that understands diversity.

Ten years after the Great East Japan Earthquake, Hack For Japan has been committed to the recovery and reconstruction from the IT side. In this panel discussion, members of Hack For Japan will look back on our activities over the past 10 years and the stories of 3.11, and discuss what we have done and what we have not done for possible disasters in the future.

This session is broadcasting from 14:30 to 16:20.

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Digital Transformation promotes the following as an organization. - "Improvement of efficiency" and "improvement of public-private productivity" through digitization of administrative procedures such as subsidy system. - Data-based policy making. - Improving public and business services. As the effects of the new coronavirus continue, we would like to introduce the results of METI DX's efforts to promote the digitization of government.

Code for Japan has been providing Social HackDay/CCC U-22/STO Creation Project as an incubation function for Civic tech. However, there are many cases in Japan where prototypes and projects born in various communities are not implemented in society or supported as a sustainable business model, making it difficult to continue their activities. CAP was created to solve these problems. As the SDGs have become a hot topic in recent years, ESG investment and impact investment are also expanding in Japan, the relationship with Civictech is also expanding. We would like to invite each player to talk about the purpose of CAP and what they see in the future.

Speaking of smart cities, you have probably heard the term "FIWARE" before. However, not many people can properly explain what "FIWARE" is. Such a platform is effective in realizing efficient data collaboration across regions, industries, and various fields, but is it really advancing urban development from the citizens' and services' perspective? In this session, the three Japanese member companies of the FIWARE Foundation (to be announced) will gather to share their activities, case studies, and challenges to date, and discuss how the next step should be taken in order to expand the FIWARE circle and realize community development in which everyone participates.

The world changes as seniors program! The activities of the Senior Programming Network have been held online due to the impact of the new coronavirus. However, there is a new development in the activity. An 86-year-old developer teaches seniors programming and releases an app! In addition, the 70-year-old Chinese teacher has already released 13 apps. You can listen to the stories of seniors who are active by adding programming skills to their experience. We are planning a panel discussion for a short time.

Brigades from all over Japan are invited to participate and introduce their activities. In the past year or two, Code for activities have been attracting more and more attention, and more new organizations have been launched. We would like to think about the future of Code for activities through dialogue between new and old Brigades.
