We attended the Youth Leader Forum for the Kanto-Koshinetsu-Shizuoka region, hosted by the Association for Promoting Fair Elections, in the seat allocated to Tokyo.

Around thirty people from civic education organizations and election bodies across the region took part, and Yoshihisa Watanabe, civic education adviser to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, gave a talk. The group session that followed used a world café format to discuss why turning out to vote matters, and gave everyone a chance to exchange views.

TEIGEN JP will keep strengthening its network with other organizations and looking for further ways to work together.
