As the winning team of the first National High School Policy Championship, TEIGEN at Fifteen paid a courtesy visit to Speaker Tetsuya Kudo at the Adachi Ward Assembly.
Formed by graduates of Adachi municipal middle schools, and observed by the Adachi committee of Junior Chamber Tokyo, we set out our proposal, how the team came about, and the civic education program we are running with the help of the Adachi Ward Assembly.
Working in politics, TEIGEN at Fifteen will continue to strengthen its relationship with the Adachi Ward Assembly and to build activity rooted in local government.

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.
