Sta.R (Station R), the circular culture creation hub directly connected to Hoshikawa Station in Yokohama and operated by Artiql together with Route Design, will hold “Learning about the circular economy from Ama Town, Oki Islands | connecting the circle vol.0” on November 25. The event explores the circular economy through Ama Town, located in the Oki Islands of Shimane Prefecture.
How can a community make the most of the resources it already has and nurture connections among its people? Using Ama Town as a starting point, the event invites participants to explore sustainable ways of building communities and what a circular future could look like.
Whether you are interested in the circular economy and community building, or simply want to rethink how you relate to resources and people in your daily life and work, you are warmly invited to join.
Rethinking the circular economy at community level through Ama Town, Oki Islands
The Oki Islands lie off the coast of Shimane Prefecture. Ama Town sits on Nakanoshima Island, surrounded by rich nature.
Sustaining a community within limited resources and a limited environment matters not only for islands, but also for the cities and regions where we live.
Recognizing the value of what a community already has. Making the most of connections between people. Passing today’s resources on to the future.
Through Ama Town, the event invites participants to see the circular economy not merely as the reuse or recycling of resources, but as a way of shaping communities and everyday life.
About “connecting the circle vol.0”
This event is titled “connecting the circle vol.0.”
Circularity is not only about the flow of resources and materials. Encounters and relationships between people, as well as culture and knowledge rooted in a place, also hold many possibilities for circular practices.
Sta.R is about creating new value and connections through materials, ideas, and encounters between people.
We hope this event will help participants learn about Ama Town’s initiatives and consider what kinds of circular practices they could start in the communities where they live.
