What is 'Mirai Park X'?
'Mirai Park X' is a unique career education event designed for children, allowing them to engage in hands-on experiences that simulate real jobs in their local business environment. Participants can explore professions such as police officers, bankers, and power plant engineers through interactive games and activities. The event collaborates with local businesses to create an engaging space where children's interest in local trades can flourish.
During the previous event held in Hyogo, more than 1,500 attendees including children and parents enjoyed the opportunity to learn about the companies in their hometown and the impressive work they do. Feedback from participants highlighted a genuine excitement for experiences that encourage awareness of local industries, leading to many requests to bring the event to other regions. Hence, the first Osaka edition aims to meet these community demands.
Purpose of the Event
"Do you know what companies are in your town?" This question reflects a reality for many urban children who grow up without a proper understanding of local industries and businesses. Opportunities to connect with local enterprises and learn about real jobs in society are limited, leading to a lack of awareness and a weakened sense of community. 'Mirai Park X' tackles this issue directly, aiming to bridge the gap between local companies and young minds.
Highlights of the Upcoming Event
Power Plant Experience (Kansai Electric)
Children will have the chance to utilize the popular game 'Minecraft' to dive into the world of hydroelectric and nuclear power generation—activities that sustain their daily lives.
Forest Work Experience (Sumitomo Forestry)
Through original games like 'Wood Cycle Dice' and 'Forest CO2 Puzzle', kids will discover the mechanics of forests and the value of wood-related professions, all while having fun.
