Children meet adults and learn about the future.
Beyond the Box "Next Story" begins.
First Interview
The first session starts with two dialogues on April 19.
Copy-san, a 5th-grade elementary school student, interviews Yui, who works actively as a pet groomer.
The reality of working with animals, and what it means to turn what you love into a job. Questions that arise precisely from a child's perspective draw out the honest feelings of adults.
Furthermore,
Yusei-kun, a 2nd-year junior high school student, interviews Ayami-sensei, a cram school instructor.
What is studying? Why do we learn? The thoughts of the one who teaches, and how to face children.
There is a world that becomes visible when children, who are usually on the "receiving end" of instruction, become the ones on the "asking end".
