The Digital Camera Volunteer Association was set up to enable anyone to enjoy photography and experiment with new forms of visual expression; it is run by former Nikon employees and citizens of Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo. Nikon sponsors the activities of the association and provides support through the loan of camera equipment.
The association has held digital camera workshops for grade-schoolers and separately for middle-aged and elderly audiences. In the past fiscal year, however, this program was expanded to nursing homes for the aged, where it proved to be a great success.
