【April Dream】Overcoming Social "Walls" with Music - Bringing France's National Qualification "DUMI" to Japan

Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is a dream of "UnLike Inc."

**New Possibilities in Music Education - What is "DUMI" (Diplôme Universitaire de Musicien Intervenant), a National Qualification from France?**

UnLike Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo), in partnership with the Franco-Japanese DUMI Association, is committed to introducing the philosophy of "DUMI (Diplôme Universitaire de Musicien Intervenant)," a national music education qualification established by the French government, to Japan and promoting new music education that contributes to solving social issues.

Our music programs are characterized by fostering diverse sensibilities and creativity not only through instrumental performance but also by incorporating physical expression, utilization of space, and familiar materials. Through these efforts, we aim to realize a society where all people, regardless of age, nationality, or disability, can coexist through music.

The foundation of this initiative is the perspective that music is not a "technique for improvement" but a "means to connect people."

DUMISTE (DUMI qualification holders) and performers work together to develop initiatives such as:

* Creation of participatory music experiences * Workshops integrating music with other fields * Collaboration with education, welfare, and local communities

Through these activities, we aim to expand the role of music and create new value as a fundamental function in society—that is, as "social infrastructure."
