The first (Top Terakoya) of "Yamaguchi Mirai Restoration School", one of the 2017 projects sponsored by Yamaguchi Prefecture, was held on Saturday, July 14 at the Strait Messe Shimonoseki, with six students participating.

　First of all, there were lectures by Norifumi Suzuki, Representative Director of Business Creation Support Company 01Booster, and Masatoshi Nakamura, Representative Director of Co-Creation Lab, Koto Co-Creation Lab. After that, there was a dialogue session with Governor Muraoka, where each student asked the governor questions about Yamaguchi Prefecture and their own ideas now. The governor responded politely to the student's serious questions.

　The story of those who are active on the front line was very exciting and I think it was a valuable experience for students. I'm looking forward to seeing how students will find aspirations in this project and grow.
