Outline of the event
You can find your “future” by talking
~Do you find hints for the future in dialogue with high school students, university students, and working adults? ～
Do you ever stop and think, “What will my future be like?” or “What should I learn?”
In recent years, high schools have been learning to ask questions for themselves and deepen their thoughts while interacting with others through “comprehensive inquiry time”. However, there are many people who spend their time without imagining how what they learn will lead to the future.
At this event, second-year high school students and second-year university students who have such concerns will gather and frankly discuss their thoughts across grades and positions.
Through a small group of conversations with working facilitators, let’s think together about “what do you want to do” and “how you want to live” while being exposed to various values and ways of thinking!

Implementation Report
Continuing from last year, facilitators, coordinators, and observers provided topics from their respective perspectives, and the event was held in an interactive world café format.
This year, the main target was second-year high school students and second-year university students who are starting to think about the future, and high school and university students frankly talked about their thoughts and worries from their respective standpoints. Through dialogues with facilitators of working adults, it was a place to come into contact with diverse perspectives and values, and to think about their own career paths and future.
The results of the questionnaire showed that it was a meaningful time for the participants, from the comments such as “It was an opportunity to reflect on oneself by listening to the concerns and confusion of various people and listening to various answers to them” and “I was able to hear stories from people of various ages and experiences, and I was able to have a valuable experience.”
