[Report] On Sunday, April 26, 2026, we participated in the 🌎 Kids Global Festival 2026 🌎✨

On Sunday, April 26th, we participated in the "Kids Global Festival 2026" at the JICA Earth Plaza!
The event theme is "~ Let's Explore, Talk, and Play Around the World! ~ Intercultural Understanding & Communication Festival."
This event provided children with opportunities to meet people from around the world and experience different cultures.

The venue was filled with children's smiles and a vibrant mix of cultures, creating a warm and wonderful atmosphere!

At JII, we had children enjoy an original game themed around "World Cuisine".

Which food looks most like an onigiri?
First, arrange cards of foods from around the world and have them gather items similar to “onigiri”.

"Is it this one~? Or maybe this one~?
Once collected, we place cards on a world map to show which country each food comes from.

Once completed, get sweets and original JII stickers! 🙌
Everyone enthusiastically said, "I want to try!" and participated, thinking about it seriously.

What we wanted to convey through the game was,
Since people around the world eat similar kinds of food,
Even if countries, cultures, and customs differ, we all share something in common.
We hope to convey our message through games.

At the same time, we were able to introduce our activities, including OFP, to parents and participants of the event,
It was a very meaningful time.

We were honored to have everyone stop by our booth, enjoy the games together, and have great conversations.
Thank you very much!
Finally, we would like to sincerely thank everyone at the Kids Global Festival for providing us with such a valuable opportunity.
