KADOKAWA Dwango Gakuen N High School, S High School, and R High School (hereinafter, N High Group) are collaborating with Ajinomoto Frozen Foods Co., Inc. (hereinafter, Ajinomoto Frozen Foods) to launch a "Co-Creation Program" aimed at junior and high school students enrolled in the N High Group and N Junior High School, where they will learn about environmental issues and disseminate information to society.
This program, based on Ajinomoto Frozen Foods' slogan "Sustainable by Choice," aims to foster the ability of the next generation of students to grasp environmental issues as "their own" and to convey their value to society from their own perspective.
## Program Structure
Outstanding works will be published on Ajinomoto Frozen Foods Co., Inc.'s official website and official YouTube channel.
This program consists of two stages: "Online Classes" accessible to all students, and "Contest-style Project-Based Learning" for selected students.
### Online Classes (May 2026~)
Employees of Ajinomoto Frozen Foods will serve as instructors, lecturing on resource circulation initiatives, focusing on their flagship product "Gyoza." Students will learn about the establishment of a circulation scheme for raw materials like cabbage, and the trajectory of challenges that expanded from the Kyushu factory to factories nationwide. Online classes are available to all students enrolled in the school.
### Project-Based Learning (July 2026~)
Students who wish to participate will undertake the challenge of producing PR videos that convey the appeal of the products.
- Direct professional guidance: Marketing personnel from Ajinomoto Frozen Foods and a creator from Hakuhodo Inc. will be invited as special lecturers. Students will directly learn content creation know-how from a professional perspective.
- Real-world experience: Students will visit Ajinomoto Frozen Foods' Kanto factory. They will observe the initiatives at the manufacturing site firsthand and gain tips for video production.
- Adoption for corporate official communication: Selected outstanding works are scheduled to be published on Ajinomoto Frozen Foods' official website and official YouTube, among other platforms.
