High School Student Project Wins Double National Awards

High school student Taisei Ono from Ichinohe-machi

"Kakikaki Daisakusen" is a high school student project where Taisei Ono focuses on disability and town revitalization, exploring ways for the community to exist without being bound by what is "normal."

At this National Summit, he received two awards:
- National Role Model Award
- My Project Award Special Award

His creation of social value through expressive activities and his unique approach were highly evaluated.

Practice Born from Fieldwork

In the project, he conducted fieldwork such as:
- Interviews with companies and organizations
- Participation in an inclusive soccer class

Based on the insights gained there, he planned and executed an event to learn about diversity through art.

A series of these initiatives started from Taisei Ono's own questions and took shape through his involvement with the local community.
