NPO GAIA.KAWASAKI Sponsors Lecture "A Life with Dreams!" — Promoting Community-Connected Learning

NPO GAIA.KAWASAKI (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture) is pleased to announce its sponsorship participation in the lecture "A Life with Dreams! ~How to Live a Positive Life Undeterred by Adversity~" hosted by the Kawasaki City PTA Liaison Council, to be held on Friday, May 22, 2026. This lecture will be open to all adults involved with children and is positioned as a learning opportunity open to the community. See Details Yusaku Kiyama, known for singing the hit song "home" and for continuously taking on challenges after overcoming illness. This lecture was planned with the philosophy that "adults striving for their own growth and enjoying life leads to the healthy growth of children" in a rapidly changing and unpredictable modern society. Singer Yusaku Kiyama, known for his hit song "home," will be invited as a lecturer. He will share his experiences, discussing how to move forward positively even when facing difficulties and the bonds within families. There will also be a mini-live performance on the day, making it an opportunity that combines learning and inspiration. GAIA.KAWASAKI's mission is "creating places for children supported by the local community," and it carries out activities such as child cafeterias, 'terakoya' learning centers, and employment support bases (community cafes). This lecture's ideals — fostering adults' own growth, improving the quality of parent-child relationships, and nurturing a community-wide consciousness of raising children — deeply resonate with our organization's activities, leading to our sponsorship participation. Representative Director, Takuya Hoshina NPO GAIA.KAWASAKI Representative Director's Comment We believe that the future of children is shaped by the adults who guide them. We hope that this lecture will be an opportunity for each adult in the community to look forward, connect, and act, and we are participating as a sponsor with this wish.
