Through the experience of transforming discarded materials into "canvases" and "materials for expression," we will convey the concept of a sustainable society. This is not just a craft event; by learning about KOKUYO's challenges in "manufacturing," participants will understand the stories behind their products. Through art creation without a single correct answer, we provide children with an opportunity to freely draw and express "the future they envision for themselves."
