One-Time Activities

Places for one-off activities requiring registration are limited in number. To take part in one of these workshops, you must register in advance. For non-registered activities, the number of places available is determined directly at the booth or in the activity room.

Please note that:
  1. Registration for these activities is only possible after entering the convention (i.e., after your ticket has been scanned at the entrance).
  2. After entering the convention, add your ticket on https://activities.japan-impact.ch/en
  3. The registration opening time for a specific activity is indicated on the website above and is generally 1 hour before the activity starts.
  4. You cannot register for overlapping workshops (for example, if you are registered for a workshop from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, you cannot register for a workshop that starts at 3:00 PM).
  5. If there are no more spots available, you will be placed on a waiting list. This means that people on the waiting list will replace registered participants who do not show up for the workshop.
  6. [New for 2025] To ensure equal opportunities, a lottery will be conducted among registrations made within the first five minutes. If the number of available spots is sufficient, all registered participants will be accepted. Otherwise, some will be placed on a waiting list, pending availability. Registrations made after these five minutes will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis: they will be confirmed as long as spots remain, or added to the waiting list if necessary.

Atelier Taiko Lausanne : Taiko Initiation

Perhaps you’ve already seen a demonstration of taiko, the famous Japanese drums, and marveled at the power and energy of the sounds they produce. Well, why not wield the sticks yourself to recreate those mesmerizing rhythms at Japan Impact? 🥁

With Atelier Taiko Lausanne, plunge into the heart of this traditional art! The activity begins with an introduction to the history of taiko, followed by a warm-up. You’ll then learn the basics: positioning, holding the sticks, striking techniques and essential rhythms.

To finish on a high note, you’ll play a collective piece in a Matsuri style, a rhythmic and unforgettable experience where the energy of the group will thrill you!

Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of the workshop.

Bastien Conus : Suminagashi - the art of floating inks

Suminagashi is the Japanese art of still floating. Indian ink deposited on the surface of the water is the beginning of each adventure. Natural or induced movements on the water act as seamless animators! Legend has it that this game originated in the court games of the late Heian period (12th century). It is said to have been handed down to Jiyaemon Hiroba by the Shinto deity Kazuga Miyojin at the Nara temple in recognition of his devotion. Long a confidential art form, it is now accessible to all, with a contemplative, joyful and creative approach.

Discover this art form at these workshops.

Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of the workshop.
