Empowering Young Entrepreneurs
The Kindery International, an entrepreneurship-focused school operated by the Japan Children’s Education Creativity Organization, will hold a workshop at the TIB KIDS DAY event on April 26, 2026. This engaging program will allow children to step into the role of a game company CEO and learn essential business skills while having fun. The event is geared towards making the concepts of revenue and profit accessible to young minds.
A Vital Educational Timing
In today’s rapidly changing world, it has become crucial for children to develop skills to identify challenges and innovate solutions collaboratively. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is actively promoting entrepreneurial education, emphasizing the need to cultivate a mindset that can navigate unpredictable societal conditions. Through Kindery International’s practical programs, children are encouraged to develop intrinsic motivations and foster their sense of initiative as they prepare for the future.
Workshop Focus
The workshop intends to provide a deep, experiential understanding of the fundamental concepts of business, specifically focusing on the structures of revenue and profit. Rather than conventional lectures, children will learn through simulation games that emulate real-world economic activities and business scenarios.
Unique Educational Approach
1.
Gamification of Learning: By incorporating game development as the core theme, children will immerse themselves in the business world as a game company president. This playful learning experience encourages a sense of ownership and deeper engagement in business operations.
2.
Experiencing Real Economic Activities: Through a unique card game, participants will gain insight into the dynamics of pricing, cost management, and profit generation. This hands-on experience allows them to navigate the complexities of real economic activities that are often left untouched in standard school curricula. By exploring both successes and failures, children will develop a practical understanding of business dynamics.
3.
Five-Step Growth Cycle Method: This proprietary educational approach prioritizes decision-making processes that reinforce children’s ability to learn from outcomes. In an unpredictable business environment, they will engage with market dynamics, learning to extract valuable lessons from setbacks. This process aims to enhance their non-cognitive abilities and confirm their belief that ‘they can achieve anything.’
The Five-Step Growth Cycle Explained
The program’s foundation is rooted in fostering intrinsic motivation. Children will circulate their decisiveness and perseverance through a continuous process of brainstorming, acting, and learning from mistakes. This spiral approach aims to cultivate a sense of overwhelming initiative necessary for thriving in the modern world.
A Learning Experience Tailored for Success
The TIB KIDS DAY event will be offering this workshop as a special program designed based on “Management Experience Card Game,” a resource widely appreciated in educational settings and offered free of charge. This arrangement provides a unique learning opportunity for children, creating a one-of-a-kind educational atmosphere.
