Exciting Opportunity for Kids: Join the Tokyo Children's Homepage Workshop!
The Tokyo Children's Homepage is a vibrant online platform currently engaging around 50,000 children daily, boasting over 100 million page views annually. This popular website aims to enhance children's interest in Tokyo's charm and municipal governance by involving them in its creation process. Each year, we invite kids to contribute their ideas and creativity to craft a fun, engaging site that resonates with their peers.
Now, we are seeking new members for our workshops for this academic year to enrich our content further!
