About Tokyo Fail Club
Tokyo Fail Club is a community where creative people share their real, vulnerable stories about failure. Our goal is to create a place where people can celebrate failure, and challenge ideas of what success looks like.
At each event, we gather with food and drinks to hear speakers tell stories from a time they experienced failure and lessons they learned through the experiences, before opening up to Q&A and open networking time.
Hope you join us at the next failure club!
「Tokyo Fail Club」は、クリエイティブな人たちが自身のリアルでありのままの人生で過去に起きた失敗にまつわるストーリーを共有するコミュニティです。このコミュニティにおける私たちの目標は、過去の失敗を祝福する場を作り、また、未来の成功について一緒に再考することです。
各イベントでは、お食事やお飲み物を楽しみながら、スピーカーが自らの過去の失敗体験やそこから得た教訓を語ります。その後、質疑応答や自由な交流の時間が続きます。
次回のイベントで、皆さんとお会いできるのを楽しみにしています!
