Message from Kouki Tange

Let’s write a message and make a placard for our only one planet
Just like you would nicely return what you borrowed
I wonder if we can return the earth where we live in, without destroying or polluting it?
Now it looks difficult to do so.
It became a matter for the children.
What should we do?
If you feel something in your heart, you can express it.
Each child is unique,
Each child is allowed to express their own thoughts and opinions.
Let’s write them down.
Let’s go on a journey to find your own words, in your own way.
