Who We are

 Inside the Lab

What we do in practice

INCANDI means “to shine from within.” 

We believe that every individual and community holds a unique light—a source of resilience and creativity.

INCANDI runs hands-on, field-based experimental labs where participants explore questions and turn insights into action. By engaging the five senses through creative methodologies such as arts, design thinking, and somatic expression, we facilitate a deeper, somatic engagement that transcends conventional learning.

Guided by talented Knowledge partners from diverse backgrounds—including refugees, migrants, and Indigenous communities —participants develop resilience, empathy, and an entrepreneurial mindset while co-creating inclusive, sustainable communities.

一人ひとりの物語を、

わたしたちの未来をつくる力へ

違いを力に変え、誰もが未来を『プロトタイプ（試作）』できるしなやかなコミュニティをデザインする。

INCANDI（インカンディ「内側から光る」の意）は、街全体をラボと捉え、人やコミュニティの未来を共に試作・実装する共創型ソーシャル・インパクト・エージェンシーです。

マレーシアを拠点に、サステナビリティ、多様性・包摂（DEI）、コミュニティ形成を横断するテーマに取り組みながら、自治体、地域コミュニティ、企業、教育機関、NGO、クリエイターなど多様なアクターと協働し、現場に根ざした実験的プロジェクト（フィールド・ラボ）を設計・運営。

私たちが重視するのは、

「支援する―される」という一方向の関係ではなく、それぞれが持つ経験や知恵、立場の違いを専門性として持ち寄り、共に考え、共に手を動かしながら形にしていくプロセスです。

一人ひとりの物語を、社会をアップデートする力へ。

私たちのフィールドラボの特徴

• 01 FIELD-DRIVEN INQUIRY / 現場発の問いを立ち上げる体験型設計 

五感をひらき、現場の微細な変化から問いを立ち上げる。年齢や立場を超えた視点を交差させながら、思考を具体的な行動へと接続していきます。

• 02 KNOWLEDGE PARTNERSHIP / 知のパートナーシップの再定義 

先住民族や難民・移民の方々を「支援の対象」ではなく、都市の課題を読み解く知のパートナーとして位置づけます。彼らの持つ「生きた経験（Lived Experience）」や困難を乗り越える起業家的思考を、未来を共創するための高度な専門性として捉え直します。

• 03 STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION / 表現を通じた価値の変換と実装 

アート、デザイン、身体表現などの手法を用い、個人の「物語」を社会を更新するプロトタイプへと転換。課題を「消費」するのではなく、都市やコミュニティの未来をともに構想するための力へと描き直します。

• 04 PROCESS DESIGN / 変容のプロセスそのものの設計

個人の変化が関係性のリデザインを生み、やがて社会のあり方をアップデートしていく。その変化が生まれるプロセスを設計し、実践の場へ落とし込んでいきます。

We Are in Good Company 

"One of the most eye-opening experiences for me was realizing that I had been carrying biases without even being aware of them. It wasn’t until I engaged in conversations and self-reflection during the program that I truly saw how these biases had shaped my perceptions and interactions. This realization has been humbling, and this has motivated me to actively challenge these biases and be more mindful of my thoughts and actions moving forward. I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow through this experience and for the support from everyone in Malaysia!"

"The theatre workshop was incredibly helpful for me to reflect on myself and learn how to communicate with others in a more creative and expressive way. It gave me new perspectives on how to interact and connect with people from different backgrounds. After six months, I hope to be kinder to others and to share the valuable lessons I’ve learned here. This experience has shown me the power of creativity in building better understanding between people."

"I’m usually very busy with work and don’t often have much time to reflect on myself. The workshop provided me with a much-needed opportunity to pause and nurture inner peace while also deepening my understanding of vulnerable communities. It has helped me to grow both personally and professionally, offering a space to connect more meaningfully with others."

"This program gave me a reason to live.

Before the field lab, I felt lost and struggled with the pain of living. But this experience completely changed my perspective. I discovered the joy of connecting with others and found a clear mission. Now, for the first time, I am excited about my future and ready to take on every challenge."
