[How do bottle caps lead to vaccine support?] Outreach lectures available to learn about vaccine support for children in developing countries

Overview of Outreach Lectures

Amidst rising interest in SDGs and inquiry-based learning in workplaces and schools, the Japan Committee for Vaccines for the World’s Children (JCV), which delivers vaccines to children in developing countries, is currently accepting applications for outreach lectures to educate participants on their activities.

Last year, JCV received a total of 28 requests from across Japan. Sessions can be conducted either in-person or online, with timings and content fully customizable.

### Challenges Addressed JCV outreach lectures solve common challenges such as "low participation due to lack of understanding of SDGs activities" or "difficulty in explaining the mechanism to students." Staff members who have visited developing countries present the significance of the activities clearly, using videos, slides, actual vaccine samples, and recycled products.

### Program Details - **Eligible Entities**: Kindergartens, nursery schools, elementary, junior high, high schools, universities, and corporate/other organizations. - **Available Days**: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays upon consultation). - **Duration**: 30–90 minutes (customizable). - **Format**: In-person or online. - **Cost**: In-person lectures require only round-trip travel expenses for the lecturer (free in local areas). Online lectures are free. - **Application**: Via [JCV Official Website](https://www.jcv-jp.org/contact/lecture_accept).

### JCV's Track Record Since its founding in 1994, JCV has worked with UNICEF and ministries of health to deliver vaccines to approximately 140 million children. In 2025, it donated approximately 117,745,176 JPY worth of vaccines and equipment to children in Myanmar, Laos, Bhutan, and Vanuatu.
