Dream Support Project '4th Fukuoka Dream Festival' at Nakamura Gakuen University

The Dream Support Project 'Fukuoka Dream Festival' (hereinafter, this event), hosted by the children's vocational and social experience facility 'KidZania Fukuoka' (Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City), was held on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at Nakamura Gakuen University (Jonan-ku, Fukuoka City).

This event is held once a year as part of an industry-government-academia collaboration, with the aim of 'contributing to the local community by supporting the healthy development of children who will carry the future of the region.' We hope to nurture 'the power to live' in the next generation of children through special experiences and workshops provided with the cooperation of KidZania Fukuoka's official accelerators (*).

For this 4th event, various workshops were held with the cooperation of nine companies, organizations, and Nakamura Gakuen University.

*Companies that support the healthy development and cultivation of 'the power to live' for children who will carry the future of the region, and cheer on the dreams of youth outside of KidZania.
