Outline
Through the creation of stage play, children working in teams will be encouraged to exercise their initiative and creativity as well as communication skills. By working closely with professional artists away from normal class activities, children will be able to learn about the characters and way of life of those artists, and this could lead to a career education for them. Our goal is to help incorporate these skills into school education, and help children utilize them at school plays and show-and-tells, and ultimately improve their presentation skills. For public auditoriums, with support from local residents, we invite local children to create stage plays together to strive for regional revitalization.
