“McDonald’s Radio University” Is Now Open!

“McDonald’s Radio University,” a project by one of the WORLD CLASSROOM-featured artists Takayama Akira, is now open at McDonald’s Roppongi Hills. Participate in the project now!

About “McDonald’s Radio University (MRU)”
“McDonald’s Radio University” is a project to transform McDonald’s franchises all over town into a university. The “professors” are immigrants and refugees who had to leave their homelands for some reason, and “students” can listen to the professors’ lectures by entering a McDonald’s and ordering them along with hamburgers and drinks. Amidst today’s society where polarization between classes and communities is accelerating, McDonald’s is a space where people of various classes, races, ethnicities, religions, and ages will intermingle in terms of both workers and customers, and is also a “theater of the future” that theaters celebrating the coexistence of diverse beings should strive to be.
Let’s go out to McDonald’s and learn!
