We will be inviting you and your children to join us at the venue. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
Background and outline of the event
Summer vacation is a long-awaited and fun time for children. While there are many opportunities for children to have unusual experiences such as going on trips, playing with friends, and meeting relatives, many parents may be concerned that their children may get into trouble such as accidents or incidents in places where they cannot be seen by their parents.
In recent years, there has also been an increase in the number of incidents in which children connect with strangers and get into trouble while watching videos or playing games on their smartphones. In particular, since children spend more time on their smartphones during summer vacation, the Child and Family Agency has also issued a warning against crimes involving children during summer vacation.
Therefore, to ensure that children have a safe and enjoyable summer vacation, we will hold a crime prevention seminar, free of charge, taught by experts who are working on the front lines of the "current" dangers surrounding children and countermeasures, to prepare for crime prevention well before summer vacation begins.
Preschool children are welcome to attend the event with their parents so that as many people as possible can attend. The event will also be streamed live online, so those who cannot make it to the venue can watch from the comfort of their own homes or from anywhere else they like.
This is an opportunity to learn about child crime prevention directly from experts.
