At the first National High School Policy Championship, hosted by Junior Chamber International Japan, we received 2,612 votes and were named the winning team.
The competition, in which high school students draft policy on Japan's problems, drew 102 teams and 406 people nationwide.
Our proposal, "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.
Our sincere thanks to everyone who voted and to everyone involved in running the competition.
We hope you will go on supporting TEIGEN at Fifteen as we turn "why?" into force and make the wind.

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.
