Providing an Environment Where Every Child Can Run Freely: We Want to Eliminate Educational Disparities by Turfing Public School Grounds [April Dream]

Our company supports April Dream, a project to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is the dream of 'Nihon Jutan Co., Ltd.'.

■ Background of the Dream

Currently, in Japanese schools, it is said that over 70% of public schools have dirt grounds, and there are cases of a gap in the athletic environment between them and private schools.
This difference affects children's opportunities for exercise, safety, and comfort.

"I can't run freely because it hurts when I fall."
"I avoid playing outside because of the dust."

We want to change this reality.

By promoting the installation of artificial turf on school grounds, we want to realize an environment where all children can move their bodies with peace of mind.

By laying artificial turf, it is possible to soften the impact of falls, reduce dust and glare, and create an environment where children can exercise to their heart's content.

■ Artificial Turf Not Only Outdoors But Also Indoors

Due to the intense heat in recent years, the days when outdoor exercise is restricted are increasing.
Under such circumstances, it is also possible to establish an exercise environment that is not affected by weather or temperature by introducing indoor artificial turf in vacant classrooms or parts of the gymnasium.

We will contribute to creating an environment where children can safely move their bodies, both indoors and outdoors.

■ About the Artificial Turf Business

Leveraging the know-how of the artificial turf business that we have cultivated, we will also work on creating easy-to-introduce mechanisms and proposing sustainable operation methods in collaboration with schools, local governments, and communities.
