Transforming the path to school from a dangerous place to a 'safe and fun route': Wpc. launches the '#ParasolsAreLove - Protect Students' Commute with Parasols!' project!

World Party Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sumiyoshi-ku, Osaka; President: Tomio Tomita), which develops the umbrella brand 'Wpc.,' will implement a special program in cooperation with Tokyo University of Agriculture First High School and Junior High School. The project, titled 'Wpc. #ParasolsAreLove - Protect Students' Commute with Parasols!,' aims to address heatstroke prevention and raise awareness among students, and will be held on June 15, 2026 (Monday). In recent years, extreme heat that poses a threat to life has become a daily occurrence, making 'heatstroke prevention' for students a major issue in educational settings. Under these circumstances, Wpc. launched this program to make the path to school a 'safe and fun route' for all students. The program includes a lecture by weather forecaster Akiko Ishigure on heatstroke risks, as well as a workshop where students will brainstorm new catchphrases for parasols. Finally, participating students will be appointed as presenters to spread the safety of parasols and will be gifted Wpc. parasols.
