Social Media and Media
Sharing both the process and outcomes of research in open and accessible forms.
The Kano Lab uses each medium for a different purpose. This website is the reference point for important research, application and event information, and social-media posts should link back to the relevant page.
YouTube｜Watch workshops and resources
The channel includes workshop videos, educational games, activities linked with NHK television, talks and dialogue.
Channel: Science Communication Lab, Shiga University https://www.youtube.com/@sciencecommunicationlabshi6511/featured

Instagram｜Images and short videos from our activities
Instagram shares workshops, behind-the-scenes development, resources, lab activity and event announcements. Add captions and alternative text so that meaning does not depend on the image alone.
note｜Longer reports and reflections
note carries the background to projects, the process of developing workshops, event reports and the intentions behind resources—material that needs more space than a short social-media post.
UNESCO Chair｜International activities and open resources
The UNESCO Chair will share research, teacher learning, community co-creation and international mobility through the website, note, Instagram and YouTube. The UNESCO report and story featuring the tea project will also be linked from the research and workshop pages.

Principles for posts and images
- Use photographs of children and participants only within the scope of consent.
- Provide captions or content descriptions for video wherever possible.
- Distinguish preliminary findings from established conclusions.
- Credit partners, production teams, communities and collaborators.
- Link posts to stable official information even after the post becomes old.
