Why does Ridilover serve as the secretariat? Not just "communicating" social issues, but "practicing" actions towards their resolution.

Ridilover Inc. aims to "break through social indifference" and develops educational programs themed around social issues, collaborative projects with companies and government, and media projects that disseminate features clarifying the structure of social issues.

Social issues cannot be solved by merely investigating and disseminating information. Ridilover believes that it is our important role not only to visualize and disseminate social issues but also to launch practical platforms ourselves when necessary, return the knowledge gained from the field to society, and connect with diverse players.

"Kodomo no Taiken Kakusa Kaiho Project" was launched as one of these practical initiatives.

Project activities began in September 2022, and it was established as a voluntary organization in 2023. Ridilover has supported the on-site activities as the secretariat. Through continued activities, we realized that experiences are not just one-time memories but have the potential to lead to children's future challenges, self-affirmation, and choices.

Therefore, to expand our efforts as a continuous system rather than a temporary activity and to strengthen our operational base, we became an NPO in 2026.

To create necessary experiential opportunities for children.

Kodomo no Taiken Kakusa Kaiho Project has created experiential opportunities for children by collaborating with NPOs supporting children, private companies, and local experience providers.

What we value in our activities is always to focus on "what meaning it holds for that child and what changes it leads to."

Encountering new values, interaction with third-party adults, and the confidence of having "tried it." We believe that each of these accumulations leads to children's future challenges and choices.

Participating children grow up in unique environments, and their interests, concerns, and past experiences vary. Therefore, we engage in thorough prior dialogue with support organizations that assist children daily and organizations that collaborate on providing experiences to design programs together, considering "what kind of challenge will empower that child now" and "what kind of experience will lead to their unique growth."

We aim to create opportunities for their unique challenges and growth together with the community and support organizations.
