Name: TEIGEN at Fifteen
Idea: turn "why?" into force, and make the wind.
Fifteen.
The gradient between child and adult.
It is precisely at that raw age that we have the power to raise a wind — to act.
Since we were founded in June 2023, mostly by former student council members from a public middle school, we have worked mainly in civic education and active learning, supported by and building alongside a range of public and private organizations.

A student organization working on civic education and teenage participation in public life, driven by the gap in who gets opportunities. Our mission: every teenager should get to meet the person they have not yet become. Around forty high school and university students from Tokyo and the three neighbouring prefectures run it. Our programs include the Mock Ward Mayoral Election — held in the ward office and the assembly chamber, taking participants from drafting policy through candidacy to the count — and Osouji-tai, which builds a sense of ownership over shared space through cleaning. More than 1,000 people have now learned how democracy feels from the inside.
