□ What is "PEACE MESSENGER JUNIOR 2023"?
Due to the aging of war veterans, opportunities to pass on war experiences to younger generations are decreasing. This project aims to provide children, who will carry the next generation, with the opportunity to learn firsthand about the horrors of war and the importance of peace, and to widely share the results with the community.
This initiative is being implemented in collaboration with Chofu City and Shibuya Real Estate Agent Co., Ltd.

□What is the role of the PEACE Messenger Junior?
・Develop an interest in various things through soccer (sports).
・Enthusiastically learn about the horrors of war and the importance of peace.
・Convey what I learned and felt as a PEACE MESSENGER JUNIOR to many people.
