Creating a Place to Believe in Yourself with 'Dream Map®': Spreading the 'Dream HUB' Nationwide

Our organization supports 'April Dream,' a day dedicated to sharing dreams on April 1st. This press release represents the dream of the NPO 'Kodomo no Mirai Project Yumedori.' We declare our commitment to building 'Dream HUBs' across Japan, where children and adults can share their 'unique dreams' and celebrate them together as a community. We face children who feel anxious, asking, 'What is a dream?' or 'I don't have anything I want to do.' We do not force 'big dreams' on them. Through Dream Map® workshops, they recognize and shape the small 'likes' within themselves. When local adults join teachers and parents in this process, a 'power to believe in oneself' sprouts in the children. Our activities are expanding through 'co-creation' with local leaders and companies. In Tokushima, the passion of Masanori Kurobe (NPO Sports Patrol Network) was met with product support from Yamato Co., Ltd., a company with over 100 years of history. Children from the 'Joyoso Ronda' soccer team used high-quality 'Yamato Glue' to create their Dream Maps. In Kannami Town, Shizuoka, children at Tanna Elementary School created maps with the support of local adults, fostering a warm atmosphere of mutual respect. We aim for a society where people are not bound by a single dream, but can update them anytime. We will build hubs connecting schools, families, and communities to realize a world where everyone can challenge themselves repeatedly without fear of failure. *'Dream Map®' is a registered trademark of Yumeno Chikara, and NPO Yumedori handles implementation in schools.
