September 13th (Saturday)
I participated as a staff member for the sponge keychain making workshop at the Aso x Mana Cultural Festival, an event held at Big Ai in Wakayama Prefecture.
This event was held as part of the EL-BASE Plus project, a subsidized initiative by Wakayama Prefecture aimed at fostering independence among young people, supporting those who are truant or socially withdrawn.
First, as staff, we decorated the booth.
We put up our company’s “Stick-On Series” products on the walls and also displayed POP displays that had been created in advance, making the booth look very cute.
☟We had children choose the non-woven fabric and sponges for the sponge keychains in this manner.
The event started in the afternoon. Many children participated, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the displays, wondering what they should create. Watching them make things with a little help from the staff made me so happy. I’d love to participate in another event like this somewhere again.
