An upcycle brand, DOKKA vivid, will host a talk session featuring the brand’s founders and representatives of companies participating in the Expo’s co‑creation project for a sustainable textile and fashion industry.
This session will communicate the current state of manufacturing to participants and aim to pass on the joy and depth of craftsmanship to the next generation. It is also intended to inspire young people to consider careers in manufacturing. The event will be held in co‑sponsorship with Osaka Prefecture (OSAKA Work Field).
Ahead of International Girls’ Day on October 11, the upcycle brand was launched to convey the joys of making things and the importance of the SDGs to the next generation. The program was conceived to broaden diversity in Osaka’s manufacturing scene by inviting a world‑active, Osaka‑born Gen Z woman to speak about her experience founding the brand.
Around International Girls’ Day each year, the Osaka City Gender Equality Center hosts events aimed at encouraging and nurturing the next generation of girls with awareness of international issues. Programs include book fairs, film screenings, and parent‑child workshops on menstrual care, among other offerings designed to deepen understanding of girls’ physical and mental health. Through these activities, the initiative seeks to help young women value their individuality and develop the skills to succeed in society.
Because International Girls’ Day falls just before the Expo’s closing, this program is planned as a closing‑period event. Going forward, the aim is to continue annual legacy events centered on “making × girls,” promoting initiatives that link craftsmanship with opportunities for young women.
