With the growing interest in Web3, DAOs, SDGs, and globalization in Japan, there is no platform where people can learn extensively about this various knowledge and participate without having ADA.
This is the total amount allocated to Enhancing the L-Earning Bazaar Platform and Onboarding New Personas.

The main net enables ADA/credit card payments, and marketing attracts people outside the ecosystem, such as Japanese schools, local authorities, etc., to use the product and get to know Cardano.
No dependencies
As for the UI/UX that has already been created, it will not be open source because it was not created as open source,
However, we'll make all new blockchain parts we'll build open-source.
>> SDG SELECTION:
#proposertoolsdg
What we have learnt from our work with Fund9 is that it is very difficult to maintain a platform that provides educational content with only those who are interested in Cardano and the community within Cardano in mind.
Our learning platform contsnts are lead by community, but now that the NFT boom is over, it is much harder to keep people connected to Crypto in the community within Discord and keep them active there.
(As can be seen from the lack of activity on Discord, even on well-known metaverse platforms).
In light of this, we are redefining our target personas and starting to do charity work to get them onto our platform.
The personas we have identified in this phase are mainly "Japanese local government officials in charge of regional development and public relations, and people who are running DAOs in the region for regional development", "business people involved in regional development", "consultants" and "Japanese students".
The people in charge of regional development in Japan, public relations and people who are doing regional development in the region are people in Japan who have a strong desire to foster community using Discord, many of whom feel the need to incorporate DAO and Web3, and who need to learn and communicate in the real world of work.
They are therefore the ones who are actively participating in recent events related to Web3 and DAOs.
In addition, Japanese students are now taking classes known as 'exploratory activities'. These classes are designed to research the world and their own interests, and to think about problems and solutions to them.
Since these students are often researching global matters and local creation, especially in relation to the SDGs, we believe that there is a great deal that they can learn from our Cardano global community and that it is a great fit with the personas mentioned above.
We are putting the L-Earning Bazaar, which has already been developed and tested on the testnet with the funding we received from Fund9, on the mainnet to make it easier to onboard newly established personas to our platform, to provide examples of community development and presentations of inquiry learning as well as giving us the opportunity to deliver Cardano content directly to the demographic interested in Web3.
The uniqueness of our education platform is that it
In addition to the usual interactive and on-demand teaching, our educational platform is unique in its ability to
These on-board features have already been built on assets from Fund9, though,
With the budget from Fund12, we intend to implement and promote the following features in 6 months to make new personas onboarding a success.
⚪︎ Features implemented
⚪︎ Promotion
As mentioned in the previous sentence, our aim in this phase is to become a place for local authorities and organisations in local cities in Japan to transmit, share, co-create and educate about their local creation initiatives.
Activities in this field are becoming really active, but there is no place for various regions to come together to transmit and exchange ideas together, and local authorities often have no contact with the global community, so we want to connect people in our cardano ecosystem here.
Also, for local municipalities, the Japanese government has developed a bill on DAOs, and a significant percentage of them are currently trying to create DAO-like organisations, and we want to put information on how to create DAOs and the tools for building DAOs created by NMKR and Clarity on our platform. itself is also very useful to make people aware of the Cardano ecosystem.
Distributing regional tokens to those who attend classes, if they are in a region that is doing DAOs, may encourage members of the global who receive them to visit the region.
This will be done in conjunction with Region Link, a programme run by DAO Inc. and the Japan Association for Local Web 3 Collaboration, with which we have a partnership.
Region Link has already run business contests connecting high schools and local authorities, so we would like them to make use of their connections to our platform and run educational events involving high schools and local authorities on our platform.
We will also make use of our partner SBI VC Trade's connections with local authorities in the hometown tax payment business to further promote the use of our platform for local authorities to disseminate information.
Through this initiative
We are trying to achieve these seven things.
Our platform will not only create opportunities for people from all over the world to research their own interests and to be exposed to educational content from all over the world that they would not normally be exposed to, but also provide opportunities for young people and local authorities in Japan who have not been exposed to Cardano before to naturally come into contact with and learn about Cardano. We also create opportunities for young people and local authorities in Japan who have not been exposed to Cardano before to naturally come into contact with it and get to know it.
At the same time, we will promote Cardano to people in our ecosystem.
To this end, we are currently approaching global Cardano ambassadors and organisations that create educational content to onboard more and better Cardano content.
We also hope to form more partnerships over the next six months.
Our work will have a positive impact on the Cardano community by
(People who are not familiar with the concepts of Cardano and Web3 can use our platform to get a feel for how Cardano's solutions work.)
We will measure the impact of the above in the following ways
Quantitative measurement:
Qualitative measurement: user feedback and satisfaction: we assess user experience and satisfaction by conducting surveys and collecting user feedback.
Sharing outcomes and opportunities: share project outcomes and opportunities through
The results will be disseminated during and after the project period. This means providing milestone reports, regular town hall meetings, etc.
Information on project outcomes, impacts and opportunities will be shared with local residents. The exit report and video will be made publicly available on YouTube. In addition, updates will be shared on social media platforms.
We will also engage with the community through community forums and social media platforms to provide regular updates.
We have the necessary capacity to deliver this project to a high standard of trust and accountability.

DAO's 'Region Link' is a partnership between DAO and the Japan Association of Local Web 3 Partnerships/DAO, which aims to solve local problems together with partners in various fields, such as Money Forward. The first Regional Problem Solving Pitch Event for Students was attended by over 150 junior and senior high school students and more than six local authorities.
With our proven development capabilities and the Region Link project's partnerships with strong links to schools and local public bodies, we can say that the above project plans are credible and successful.

Our costs are based on average wages of Web3 space(Development).
We aim to make educational opportunities available to our community members and to those with limited educational opportunities around the world.
We believe that it is very important to reach users at the grassroots - schools and local authorities.
The reasons for this are.
For these two reasons, schools can gain meaningful learning even if people in Africa and other countries with poor educational opportunities just talk about the situation in their own region, and those who teach can earn rewards.
In addition, classes given by Cardano members can provide a place for local publics to find information on Web3 and create clues that can lead to increased adoption of Cardano itself, and local people can also directly disseminate information to people in the global community, so that members of the global community This will also help to revitalise the region when global members of the community have access to the information.
In other words, we believe that the needs of both parties can be brought together through this platform and new relationships can be created.
Considering that the average minimum cost to exhibit at a Web3 event is 30,000 USD, we believe that our platform, together with the partnerships we are building with schools, local authorities and the use of testing as a learning format, will be enough to give the ecosystem the value for fund we are asking for.
