Supporting Children's Creativity at the 32nd Kinoko International Film Festival

Pacific Consultants, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has taken a proactive role in nurturing the creativity of children by sponsoring the highly anticipated 32nd Kinoko International Film Festival, held from October 31 to November 4, 2025, at the Futako-Tamagawa Rise Central Square. This year’s festival offered a unique hands-on experience designed to ignite the imaginative spirits of children through a bridge-building workshop titled "Ohashi de Hashi! Kids Construction Challenge."

Targeting preschoolers to junior high school students, this engaging workshop allowed participants to explore the fundamentals of engineering and design through the fun and playful act of bridge construction. By encouraging students to think critically and devise their own solutions, Pacific Consultants aimed to foster a sense of discovery and creativity, opening up new avenues for learning.

During the three-day event, over 150 families, totaling more than 300 attendees, visited the festival and participated in various activities. The overwhelming feedback from families was heartwarming. Many attendees expressed delight, stating, "My child was completely engrossed," and others discovered for the first time the company's involvement in large-scale community projects reminiscent of urban development in Shibuya. This engagement not only offered a delightful experience for families but also served as a valuable moment to increase awareness about Pacific Consultants' social initiatives and projects in infrastructure development.

Dedicated to the responsibility of enhancing social infrastructure, Pacific Consultants is deeply committed to realizing a sustainable society. The company values connections with local communities and aims to continue supporting cultural and artistic endeavors, contributing to a vibrant and enriching environment for all.
