Recommendations : Schools, educational organizations and companies actually havedifficulties in realizing this project because of some large burden.
We think that, because of such aspect, this project is suitable for JC
where the representatives from regional companies assemble.
This project was realized because children who were raised in this region,
companies acting in this region and JC who aimed to activate its region
gathered.
because we could comparatively easily gather volunteers and cooperative
companies because of the contents of actions.
This project was raised by each newspaper.
In addition, this project was introduced by a lot of media such asbroadcasting companies (Gifu Broadcasting Co., Ltd., and CCN Co., Ltd.)This project gave participating children opportunities to aspire working
adults, to have dream and hope, and to concretely draw their ideal future
images.
Participating children could feel that every job is necessary and does nothave any excellence or inferiority as well as knowing that various jobs andmany people are connected each other and feeling the importance offellows by constructing the fashion show by all participants.
Participating children knew that adults worked with feeling of worth doing
for delighting the people of other jobs and family members, etc. andmaking such people show appreciation, and found out that such mind wasimportant.
By completing the project, having the interest in the future, and having thepositive experience, children, companies and JAYCEES had a step forhaving dreams and hope and considering what they can do at present.
