[Held] World Children's Future Conference in support of the United Nations in INAGI

On Friday, August 30th, 2024, we held the "Global Children's Future Conference in Support of the United Nations in INAGI."
This was the first time the event was held in Inagi City, and a total of 24 representatives from sixth grade elementary schools in the city gathered together. They were divided into six groups and discussed the theme of "A sustainable future for Inagi City," and presented their ideas.
The conference was divided into two parts. The first part was a workshop held in the fourth floor conference room of the Regional Promotion Plaza, and the second part was a presentation held in the main conference room with the cooperation of the Inagi City Council.
The group that wins the grand prize at this conference will be able to represent Inagi City at the 5th World Children's Future Conference Supporting the United Nations, which will be held in Tokyo in March 2025, and the FUTURE SUMMIT Mirai General Assembly, which will be held at the Osaka-Kansai Expo in August.

In the first part of the workshop, participants introduced themselves using the "Heart Picnic" and "Our Well-Being Cards" and deepened communication. After that, they discussed "A sustainable future for Inagi City," thought up specific ideas and actions that each person could take, and created a presentation board for the second part.

In the second presentation, each group gave a presentation on the proposals they had compiled, answered questions from the judges and the students in the other groups, and the judges scored the proposals to determine the winner. During the judging process, we had a talk by Yumehito Ito, a former diplomat and senior advisor for the Sustainability Promotion Unit at Avex Inc.
The winning group was presented with a certificate of commendation by Mayor Takahashi.
