We've been hearing for a long time that times are changing, but now is the time for us all to update everything.
After the coronavirus, the power required of Japan as a whole and of the young people living in the future is "the ability to accept change and move forward/the ability to create something new."
If you ride on a certain track, you will feel safe and secure, and that era will end, and we will move on to the next era.
In Japan, a new generation is already emerging that accepts change, sets their own challenges, and uses their own skills to solve them.
I would like to put the spotlight on such people.
With this in mind, we are starting an initiative to recognize junior high and high school students who ``set their own challenges, turn their ideas into reality, and solve them.''
