Graphic Recording

Graphic recording is a method of recording contents such as discussions, seminars, interviews in real time using graphics (pictures) and texts to save the entire content as minutes. The advantage of “visualizing” discussions is that they can be understood intuitively and there is less chance of misunderstanding between participants and officials.

At the International Forum of the Decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi NPS, we have been using graphic recording since the 2nd forum held in 2017 to record the discussions on Day 1 between local communities and people involved in decommissioning.

Abstract

Pre-events

Co-creation workshop “Dialogue on decommissioning” (Hearing Activity)

As a pre-event for the forum, we held “Dialogue on Decommissioning”, a co-creation workshop to ask opinions and questions about 1F decommissioning, at various locations. 2024, we held 7 workshops for adults in Fukushima Prefecture, with 37 participants.
The feedback we received was compiled into the booklet “Voices from Fukushima” and distributed to the participants of the forums DAY 1.

International Mentoring Workshop
“Joshikai” in Fukushima 2024

Dates：July 27 (Sat.), 28 (Sun.) and 29 (Mon.), 2024

Place：Futaba town Industrial Exchange Center（F-BICC）

Participation：High school and technical college students in Fukushima Prefecture, high school students outside of Fukushima Prefecture, mentors, special lectures, etc.

Beginning in 2019, NDF will collaborate with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development/Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD/NEA) in an effort to increase interest in science and engineering, including decommissioning, through interaction with female researchers and engineers, called mentors, for female high school students in Fukushima Prefecture and other parts of Japan, through the International mentoring workshop “Joshikai in Fukushima”.

This year, the sixth such event was held at the F-BICC on July 29-30, with female high school students from Fukushima Prefecture and beyond, as well as co-chairs and mentors from Japan and overseas.
