The mini-picture scroll "Precautions for Adaptation Measures" was used in an environmental education session!

At the Eco-Life Fair 2019 National Institute for Environmental Studies booth held on June 1st and 2nd at Ministry of the Environment, many people made the original mini-pictogram "Precautions for adaptation". I think it was a good opportunity for people from a wide range of ages, from children to adults, to express their pleasure in a number of words, and to make them feel more familiar with "adaptation."

Then, we received a pleasant news from a teacher at Musashino Higashi Elementary School that they were able to utilize it in the elementary school's educational setting. I would like to introduce some of the emails you sent me below.
【Mail you received (some excerpts)】
"Thank you very much for letting me learn about adaptation to climate change at your company's booth with our fourth-to sixth-grade Eco Club children at the Eco Life Fair 2018 on Sunday, June 2. At that time, I also had the opportunity to experience the creation of a picture scroll of "Knowledge of Adaptation Measures" and it was a very meaningful time to learn about it. The picture scroll was so wonderful that even after returning to our school, we used the picture scroll and leaflets on our homepage as references to learning about "adaptation" and making a picture scroll to learn about the environment."
A scene of environmental education held at Musashino Higashi Elementary School can be viewed at the following.
Isn't it an epoch-making attempt to have students enjoy learning about climate change adaptation at school through the creation of picture scrolls? I am very happy that the children learned about "adaptation" through making emakimono. I'm sure that the emakimono you made was also seen by your family.
We hope that this picture scroll will provide more people with the opportunity to learn about adapting to climate change.
