■”An opportunity for Japanese children to take on the challenge of international co-creation, experience the skills and mindset of professionals, and grow with excitement” This project was started by Shuhei Miyasaka, an educator who is a correspondence high school teacher and a member of Team DICT.This project is based on Mr. Miyasaka’s actual experience in the educational field and the public information for junior high and high school students. Based on the results of our awareness survey, we believe that there are many children in Japan who are separated from society, feel lonely, and lack self-confidence. In order to create an opportunity for children to imagine their future with excitement and gain the confidence to face the next 10 years, in this project, students from three countries, Japan, France, and the United States, will take the lead in creating a piece of music. We will co-create and release it to the world.

■The theme is “Letter to myself in 2030” The theme of the song that serves as a guideline for this project, in which students from three countries participate, is “a letter addressed to oneself in 2030.” Through this production, each child will be able to learn about their relationships with the world, including friends, family, career paths, and society. We seriously think about whether and how we want to be involved, and reflect this in our lyrics and music.

■Co-creation with professionals who are active on the front lines The songs in this project will be produced in the process of [lyrics → composition → recording] and then distributed to the world, but professionals in each field will be appointed in each step and will participate in this co-creation program. In the songwriting process, the lyrics created by the children are supplemented by a
lyricist/singer-songwriter who has many fans, and in the composition process, the children’s feelings in the lyrics are reflected in the lyrics by composers who have worked on numerous anime music. The house will compose and produce the sound source. Additionally, popular voice actors serve as the main vocals during the recording process, enhancing the quality of the work. It can be said that this is an international co-creation education project unlike any other in the world, where children often have the opportunity to experience professional skills first-hand. *The names of each participating artist are not disclosed at this time.

Because children co-create while interacting with professional technology, the project is being researched as an educational project that can efficiently achieve “high educational effects” and can be easily integrated into existing school curricula. After the completion of this project, it is envisioned that the content of the initiative will be written in an English paper by Mr. Miyasaka, the initiator and project owner, and that it will be able to be replicated in
educational settings around the world.

■Make “Project Shion” a “Bon Odori Yagura” Regarding the implementation of crowdfunding for this project, Mr. Miyasaka wrote the following thoughts. We will create a structure and mechanism (the “Yagura”) that will allow children who yearn to “grow up happily!” and adults who are enthusiastic “to support their growth in a fun way” to come together and dance together. Eventually, people will call out to others, and before you know it, there will be a huge wave. We believe that “the experience of children working together to create something together” is the cornerstone of “people development and nation building.” Please, each and every one of you please lend us your help. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Crowdfunding is being conducted at the URL below. We would appreciate your help in creating wonderful educational opportunities.
