Photo project “Junior Photographers” aims to increase children’s
awareness of the environment, and to provide them with
opportunities to convey their discoveries and feelings to others
by means of photography. A digital camera course, a photography
field trip to a city, in which nature is still alive or an area
which is kept green, and the presentation session take place in
cooperation with educational institutes and/or local volunteers.
The number of the participant is around 6,900(January 2012) in
total after the project started in 2004. The district where the
program is held is throughout Japan including Hokkaido and
Okinawa. Now the project has grown into nationwide activities.
The project is favorably received at each district where the
program is held, as it encourages children to develop their
fresh sensitivity, and also gives local people a good
opportunity to think again about their attractive surroundings.
Why don’t you join this program to discover new merits of the
environment and enjoy liveliness
