Nationwide Event on Child Spaces

The Children and Families Agency is organizing its first national event named the "Children's Space Creation All-Meeting," where NPO miraito’s Chair, Ayaka Ueda, will take the stage. This gathering is set to take place on September 25, 2025, at the Shibuya Ward Youth and Children Center in Tokyo. The event will convene stakeholders from across the nation, including management personnel, supporters, and local government officials, all of whom focus on creating environments for children and youth.

In her session, Ueda will discuss the theme of "Youth Centers for Teens", reflecting on the effective practices implemented in Iwaizumi Town, Iwate Prefecture. This session is expected to elucidate potential strategies for enabling safe spaces for young people to gather and express themselves, furthering the dialogue on addressing the issues of loneliness and isolation that many children and adolescents face today.

The significance of this event lies not only in the presence of various stakeholders but also in its goal to brainstorm the future of "spaces" where young people can feel included and supported. Participants will have the opportunity to listen to impactful stories and insights from various practitioners who are already working to create these environments.
