Brigade

What

What is Brigade?

We work with citizens and local governments in the areas where we operate to solve local problems

Like Code for Japan, Code for X (the name of the region) is working nationwide to solve regional issues through IT. Code for Japan has formed a partnership with the Brigade, which is a loose network of organizations throughout Japan

What we do

Each brigade varies in size, activity theme, and activities. Some brigades have a few members who meet irregularly, while others have dozens of members who gather once a month. Some brigades have members who are mainly interested in childcare or accessibility, while others deal with a variety of topics. Brigades are independent organizations, and each brigade is autonomous in the way it conducts its activities

Where we do

There are about 80 brigades in Japan, some with a large area of activity, such as Code for Tokyo (Tokyo), and others with an area of activity, such as Code for Nerima (Nerima-ku, Tokyo). Brigades based on a theme, such as Code for Cat, are active regardless of the region. We encourage you to join a brigade in your area, a brigade near you, or a brigade with a theme you are interested in
