We’re looking for ideas from children to protect the future of the Earth! The 2nd Green Blue Education Forum Competition will be held. Have fun learning at the pre-forum!

The Green Blue Education Forum Executive Committee, a sub-organization of the “Experience Opportunity Space” Research Organization, chaired by Noriko Ishizaka, Representative Director of Ishizaka Sangyo Co., Ltd. (Miyoshi-machi, Iruma-gun, Saitama Prefecture), has decided to hold the second Green Blue Education Forum Competition, a presentation competition for children from elementary school to graduate and vocational school students who will shape the future, to present their ideas for protecting the earth

. The Green Blue Education Forum Competition is a presentation competition designed to encourage children to develop the perspectives and ideas necessary for building a sustainable society. Based on the theme of “The Environment We Want to Protect and the Future We Want to Create,” participants are invited to freely draw important places, things they want to protect and not lose, and the new future they want to create.

This year, before the application period begins, an online forum featuring popular environmental activists will be held on Saturday, July 17th. This forum is free and open to the public, allowing participants to learn about environmental and social issues through a Q&A session with the speakers, and to gain ideas and hints for applying to the competition.

Application guidelines, video submission procedures, and details about the online forum will be posted on the Green Blue Education Forum Competition official website soon. We look forward to your participation and submissions.
