KOBE” in Higashinada Ward, Kobe City, will host the Kobe Umi no Mirai Gakko (Kobe Sea School of the Future) “Umi Gomi Theater” on January 26. The event is open to 100 elementary school students living in Kobe City and their guardians.
The event is designed to provide an opportunity for students to learn about the current state of marine litter and to take action. It is an environmental class where participants can learn about the marine litter issue in a fun way.
Shuichi Takizawa of Machine Guns
The event was divided into two parts, with comedian Shuichi Takizawa of the Machine Guns taking the stage in the first part. Mr. Takizawa is also a “garbage cleaner,” and at the event, participants will have the opportunity to hear about the current state of marine debris he has seen and the various knowledge he has gained from his garbage collection duties.
Tomosato Moriguchi and Yui Moriguchi of Kobe Umi Sakura
In addition, Mr. Moriguchi of Kobe Umi Sakura, which conducts beach cleanup activities along the Suma Coast, will talk about the “current state of marine litter in Kobe,” a topic that is closer to home.
In the second part, “Platicland,” an art and video marine litter workshop, will be held. The program by artists “Kazuya Taoka x Omult.Venzer” uses a movie theater screen, and is enjoyable for people of all ages.
<A word from the reporter>
Also, participants in the event will receive a book by Machine Guns Takizawa. This will be a good opportunity for parents and children to think together about issues in the ocean around them.
