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.
