National Kids’ Eco Club Festival – Event Day!

,

Hi, this is MHK_Studio!
The 2019 National Kids’ Eco Club Festival was finally held!
There were so many heartfelt presentations by children, and at the corporate booths, various companies showcased their efforts toward achieving the SDGs. Each booth presented their initiatives with great enthusiasm.

Let’s start with the children’s presentations.
Most of them presented using wall newspapers.
Everyone put a lot of thought into how to best convey what they had researched and learned, carefully crafting their posters and writing out their presentation scripts.
Some even memorized their entire scripts perfectly!
I truly felt that this kind of opportunity—where kids can work so hard and present their thoughts—is a wonderful learning experience.

At the corporate booths, not only well-known companies but also those we often see but don’t know much about—or didn’t realize were doing anything ecological—were there, proudly sharing their sustainability efforts.
It was truly educational for me as well…
Making serious efforts to reduce environmental impact isn’t something just anyone can do easily.
Seeing these companies actively working toward it made me deeply respect what they’re doing.

Overall, I truly believe this was a wonderful festival.
It wasn’t just about presenting your own achievements—it was about sharing activities across different age groups, from children to adults.
And it wasn’t some dry or overly complicated event either—it was filled with creative and engaging ideas, fun performances, and genuine passion that made you think,
“Yes, let’s keep going!”

From the bottom of my heart, I really hope we can continue protecting the environment together like this…
