Ｎプロジェクトは、科学的リテラシーを世代や属性を越えて共有し、対話や協働の基盤とする社会を目指す取り組みである。放射線を題材に高校生がスケッチブックで科学を語り、市民が耳を傾ける姿は、科学が日常に根付く兆しといえる。科学を専門家や理系のものに限定せず、誰もが関われる公共財とし、民主的でレジリエントな社会の基盤に据えることを理想とする。また、中高年層や教員、地域住民も参加し、学び合いや協働を通じて世代や制度を超えた知の連鎖が生まれている。さらに卒業生の継続的参画やNPO化、自治体・教育機関連携により、科学を共通言語とした地域社会づくりを進める。国際的には2025年万博で高校生が多言語で科学を語り、科学を「世界の言語」とする文化を広げることを目指す。科学が人・地域・世代・世界をつなぐ力となることがＮプロジェクトの理念である。
The N Project aims to build a society where scientific literacy is shared across generations and social groups, serving as a foundation for dialogue and collaboration. By using radiation as a theme, high school students present science through sketchbooks, drawing the attention of diverse citizens—a sign that science is becoming embedded in daily life. Science is not confined to experts or the sciences but is envisioned as a public resource accessible to all, forming the basis of a democratic and resilient society. Middle-aged citizens, teachers, and local residents also participate, creating intergenerational and cross-institutional chains of learning through mutual exchange and collaboration. Alumni continue their involvement, with efforts toward forming an NPO and fostering partnerships between municipalities and educational institutions to build communities where science is a shared language. Internationally, at Expo 2025, 2,000 high school students will communicate scientific messages in over 150 languages, spreading the vision of science as a “global language.” At its core, the N Project seeks to make science a force that connects people, regions, generations, and the world.
