＜What is the Super Daddy Association? ＞
is a group of fathers, by fathers, for fathers, which encourages fathers to take an active part in raising their children. We are a group for fathers by fathers to encourage fathers to take an active part in raising their children. Our members think about how to raise their children more intensively in the limited time they have outside of work. We have a variety of events such as "Flower School for Fathers", "Fathers and Children Together! The group also organizes events such as the "Fathers' Flower School", "Fathers and Children's Running School", "Symposium for Fights between Fathers and Children", and "Yuru Housework Festival".

About the Power Mama Project
We were introduced to the SOZOW festival by the Super Daddy Association. I actually met Mr. Kosukegawa and Mr. Inoue, the representatives of SOZOW, and heard their passionate stories about the origins of SOZOW, the children, and the concept of the festival, and I was very excited and wanted to help in some way.
For the festival, we asked some of the mums and dads we know from the Power Mum project to be our speakers. We had a great line-up of professionals from all walks of life that I, as an adult, would love to hear from.
On the day of the event, I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the participants and the excitement on the part of the speakers and the enjoyment of everyone in the room, children and adults alike. We were delighted to be involved in such a great event.
Also, as the form of study and learning changes drastically from the past, I felt that SOZOW will grow greatly in the future as a place for children to expand their possibilities.
＜What is the Power Mum Project? ＞
" Power Mama Project" is a project to share the role models of working mothers (womamas) and connect them to the vitality of tomorrow. We are working to increase the number of happy mothers who can work and raise their children in their own way.

Our thoughts on the event
Schools tend to be less connected to the real world. Apart from parents and teachers, there is very little contact between children and adults.
We want to put a stop to this situation and create opportunities for children to interact with adults in a safe and secure way, and to learn about different worlds. It is with this in mind that we started planning the "SOZOW Fest".
In the process of trying to make it happen, we mentioned this idea to the NPO Super Daddy Association and the Power Mama Project, and they kindly agreed to help us. We are very grateful to these two organisations for their support.
Despite being our first attempt, we were able to organise the event successfully. Thank you very much.
