We held the 2025 general meeting in Adachi.
This year we welcomed a large intake of new members interested in civic education, and set up the Clean Education Division, which builds public-mindedness in children through cleaning classes. We also took individual and group photographs for publicity.
The day included time to go back over what the organization stands for and time simply to talk, and everyone came away understanding the work and each other better.

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.
