Projects

The experience is not the end.
We connect it to policy.

Every program starts from a founding question and is designed to leave something changed — in the people who take part and in society — through the process of QUESTION → DIALOGUE → DESIGN → ACTION → CHANGE.

All Projects

Civic and voter education for youth participation, and learning through community cleanup. The two pillars are one and the same education: raising people who see themselves as responsible for the society they live in.

Adachi Mock Ward Mayoral Election

From casting a vote to writing the policy.

Our flagship program in experiential citizenship education, co-created with the ward office, the ward assembly, the board of education and the election administration commission. Participants draft policy, declare candidacy, deliberate, and vote — the whole democratic process. Held three times since 2023; the Mayor of Adachi attended the third edition in 2026.

Pillar 02 | Community cleanup and public-mindedness

Osouji-tai Community Cleanup Program

Turning cleaning into an education in public life.

A curriculum developed with the cooperation of Duskin Co., Ltd. Through Osouji-tai: Protect Your Neighborhood, an outreach class for elementary schools, children come to see their neighborhood as theirs to look after. First delivered at Adachi Elementary School in December 2025.

School Outreach Program

The first time your own voice changes something.

Citizenship education delivered inside schools, in partnership with the Adachi Election Administration Commission. In 2025 we helped run a mock election for about 320 second-year students at Kohoku High School. Mock elections built around real school rules give students an issue they already care about.

Pillar 01 | Citizenship education and youth participation

Setagaya Mock Ward Mayoral Election

Rebuilding the Adachi model for a different city.

Not a copy-paste of what worked. A citizenship education model rebuilt around Setagaya's own issues and its own administration — and the first test of whether this travels at all.

Tokyo Mock Gubernatorial Election

The future of a city of fourteen million, examined by teenagers.

Everything learned in Adachi, taken to the scale of Tokyo itself. An inter-school program staged in the Metropolitan Assembly chamber, reaching past the vote into what governing and consensus-building actually demand.

Insights

Youth Council Model (In Development)

Wiring young people's voices into policy, permanently.

Institutional research into how the voices of 13-to-24-year-olds can be built into policymaking. A five-stage design running from a roundtable to a municipal ordinance and a formal advisory body. We intend to prove the model in Adachi first, then take it to municipalities nationwide.

Our Standard

Not "did it happen" —
but "what did it change?"

For each program we have run, we publish a case study: the founding question, the design of the experience, the results, the voices of those involved, and what happened behind the scenes.
