We conducted surveys related to social problems. We studied what weneed to cultivate for our future, and decided our TOYP theme as [Bondbeyond the Generation].
Analyzing individuals, organizations, and companies playing an active rolein the world, find out what is really important to pass on to nextgenerations.
2) Selection of TOYP members
We collected information from the network of past TOYP members,
embassies and consulates-general of various countries, NGOs,companies, and organizations. We selected five outstanding young people
who exert influence to the world, and invited them to Japan.
3) Workshop
We provided to TOYP members an opportunity to understand what is
considered to be important for some company in Japan. This year wechose Yamamoto chemical company attract attention worldwide.
4) TOYP forum
It is difficult to identify what we can do for the future, what kind of society
can we provide for our children, when they reach maturity 20-30 years laterfrom now? What role should we each play to fulfill our responsibilities as aperson concerned in such a rapidly changing world? The TOYP program
has addressed problems of global society and many local communities
under themes varying every year, aiming at establishment of aninternational private network. We held a forum to provide Osaka citizens
an opportunity to recognize that each of them are responsible for creating
a future and have power to pass on to next generations.
