We also confirmed how important it is for young people to take the lead in this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Purpose of the session<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Main purpose: with a diverse group of participants, to think together about &#8220;what we can and should do so that the next generation sees co-creating a peaceful future as their own issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Specific goals:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Actively take up concrete proposals that emerge from the discussion and help put them into action<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Share what we have learned and the challenges we have seen through Forum2050&#8217;s activities<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Find new insights and paths to action through dialogue across generations and positions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should join<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone interested in co-creating a peaceful future, raising awareness as global citizens, and related themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No restrictions on age or affiliation<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Young people, including junior high and high school students, are especially welcome<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time we have shortened the presentations and reports to leave more time for discussion.

Led by young people: young Forum2050 members lead the facilitation and discussion.<br>2. A dialogue-centered approach: presentations are kept to a minimum, and as much time as possible goes to dialogue among participants.<br>3. Thinking of it as &#8220;my own issue&#8221;: we start not from theories or concepts, but from each participant&#8217;s own experiences and feelings.<br>4. Dialogue across generations: people of many ages, from elementary school and university students to working adults and seniors, come together.<br>5. Toward concrete action: we focus on turning the discussion into concrete proposals and actions, not stopping at talk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expected outcomes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Concrete ideas and proposals for co-creating a peaceful future<\/li>\n\n\n<li>A network that crosses generations and positions<\/li>\n\n\n<li>A clearer &#8220;next step&#8221; for each participant<\/li>\n\n\n<li>New participation in and partnerships with Forum2050&#8217;s activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Registration and inquiries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Registration site: <a href=\"https:\/\/padeco.education\/kkw2025\/\">https:\/\/padeco.education\/kkw2025\/<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<li>Registration form: <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/r\/9ZujszyiX5\">https:\/\/forms.office.com\/r\/9ZujszyiX5<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inquiries about Education Cooperation Week as a whole<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Email: <a href=\"mailto:ML_kkw@jica.go.jp\">ML_kkw@jica.go.jp<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<li>Web: <a href=\"https:\/\/padeco.education\/kkw2025\/\">https:\/\/padeco.education\/kkw2025\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inquiries about the Forum2050 session<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Email: <a href=\"mailto:info@forum2050.com\">info@forum2050.com<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1187\" height=\"1677\" data-id=\"1411\" src=\"https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWchirashi20250911.jpg\" alt=\"The 5th Education Cooperation Week\" class=\"wp-image-1411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWchirashi20250911.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWchirashi20250911-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWchirashi20250911-725x1024.jpg 725w, https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWchirashi20250911-768x1085.jpg 768w, https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWchirashi20250911-1087x1536.jpg 1087w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1187px) 100vw, 1187px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1185\" height=\"1693\" data-id=\"1410\" src=\"https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWForum2050chirashi20250911.jpg\" alt=\"How will you build a peaceful future?\" class=\"wp-image-1410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWForum2050chirashi20250911.jpg 1185w, https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWForum2050chirashi20250911-210x300.jpg 210w, https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWForum2050chirashi20250911-717x1024.jpg 717w, https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWForum2050chirashi20250911-768x1097.jpg 768w, https:\/\/forum2050.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/KKWForum2050chirashi20250911-1075x1536.jpg 1075w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1185px) 100vw, 1185px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"p-blogParts post_content\" data-partsID=\"582\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-fullWide pc-py-40 sp-py-40 alignfull\" style=\"background-color:#f7f7f7\"><div class=\"swell-block-fullWide__inner l-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-swl-main-thin-background-color has-background\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center is-style-stitch has-swl-main-thin-background-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><span class=\"swl-fz u-fz-l\"><strong>Inquiries and Consultations | Newsletter Registration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forum2050 operates under the concept of &#8216;Children of the World: Each Child&#8217;s Vision for the Future Shapes Humanity&#8217;s Destiny,&#8217; collaborating with businesses, schools, educational institutions, and others.
