Think about the future you want to create through “experience”! “The 3rd Green Blue Education Forum Competition” to be held

The Green Blue Education Forum Executive Committee, a sub-organization of the “Experience Opportunity Research Organization” chaired by Noriko Ishizaka, Representative Director of Ishizaka Sangyo Co., Ltd. (Miyoshi, Iruma District, Saitama Prefecture), has decided to hold the third Green Blue Education Forum Competition, a presentation competition for Generation Z, from elementary school students 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 video presentation competition in which participants, who will shape the future, learn through experience and use their five senses to freely consider “the environment we want to preserve and the future we want to create,” and submit a three-minute video.

An awards ceremony for the winning teams will be held at the Kyoto Prefectural Kyoto Gaku and Rekisaikan Hall on Sunday, November 13th. Following the ceremony, a symposium will be held to disseminate information about the “Experience Opportunity Research Organization” and promote environmental education.
