Exciting Confirmation of Schools for the 3rd National High School Policy Koshien Regional Qualifiers!

The Japan Junior Chamber, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has officially announced the schools and teams participating in the regional qualifiers for the 3rd National High School Policy Koshien. This competition is an initiative aimed at high school students across the nation, empowering them to think critically about social issues by creating policies based on specified themes. The main objective of this contest, which started in 2023, is to cultivate a sense of political awareness among young individuals, allowing them to envision their future society while recognizing their role as sovereign citizens of the nation.

For this year's event, two categories have been set for policy submissions: the designated theme category, titled "Creating the Future of Japan! Sustainable Digital Policies!" and the free theme category called "You are the Prime Minister! Local Social Issues and a Bright Future!". Over 350 teams from 33 prefectures submitted applications, surpassing last year’s numbers significantly.
