TEIGEN at Fifteen competed in the main round of the first National High School Policy Championship, hosted by Junior Chamber International Japan at the National Diet Building, was selected among the top three teams, and has gone through to the finals.

Widely covered and closely watched, the main round featured the ten teams that came through written selection from 102 teams and 406 people nationwide. The top three, chosen by vote among the competitors, go on to the finals.
Our presentation, "A first step toward a new society, through a hybrid of the future and the present", took the set theme — a new kind of election using digital technology — from the angles of education and technology.

The finals are in September, and we are going for the inaugural title. We would be grateful for your support.
