Aiming to realize a cyclical education system of "from being taught to teaching," we provide children with the "opportunity to take on challenges."
This event is a challenge in planning and management by the children who will lead the next generation. We hope many people will come and experience their efforts firsthand. We aim to create a society where more children can turn their "wants" into actions and where taking on challenges becomes the norm.
