Participants' voices
In the post-event questionnaire, 93% of participants said that they would like to attend or have their child attend the next event. Here are some of the comments we received
I think we were able to listen to a lot of stories about different kinds of work at a good pace in 15 minutes. Thank you very much. The design of the venue was very good and the detailed explanation was good.
It was good to hear stories that we don't get to hear everyday. There were so many people from different professions that I would have liked to hear from all of them.
It was a great opportunity for me to learn about a lot of different careers that I didn't know about before, or that I knew about but didn't know the details of the job.
ABOUT THE NPO SUPER DADDY ASSOCIATION
"It was the most fun and tense experience I've ever had" "The reaction of the children gave me confidence in my work"
(SDA), a dentist, pilot, magician, chef, occupational therapist, board game creator and TV producer.
It was a meaningful festival for us because one of our goals is to "raise children together with all fathers". A wide variety of children icons appeared in front of a wide variety of fathers. When I spoke passionately about my work, the children who participated posted a variety of responses and opinions. How can I become one?" How can I become one?", "That's amazing", "I want to hear more". The children's enthusiasm for the project raised our spirits without us even knowing it. Three hours of positive communication with children from all over Japan was all too short.
We are convinced that the children who experienced this event will have a sense of purpose for the future and will cherish their days. We hope to talk to more children at SOW Festivals in the future.
SOZOW, an online learning place for elementary and junior high school students run by Go Visions, of which Mr. Kosukegawa, who appeared in the interview with the Dadpreneur, is the representative director, will hold the "SOZOW Fest - Work" on January 10, 2022, where children can encounter the world of various jobs in the Corona disaster. The event was held on 10 January.
This event is aimed at children who are a little older than the BabyTech category, but as more and more parents think about their children's future learning and social experiences when they reach the age of 4 or 5, we think it is a good idea.
Let's have a look at the details from the press release.
