Colorful! Powerful! Hiroseful 5th Future x Cultural Festival

About this event

Set at the former Hirose Elementary School (Omi Kosai Lifelong Learning Center) in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, "Colorful! Powerful! Hiroseful 5th Future x Cultural Festival" is an exchange event connecting the local community with young people. Marking its 5th edition, this year's theme is "Thinking About Takashima's Future with Everyone," creating a forum where local junior high, high school, and university students collaborate with community members to envision the future of Takashima City. This project started in the autumn of 2021 from the students' desire to share the appeal of the former Hirose Elementary School and Takashima City, and "Hiroseful" has been held every year since the following year. Continuing the spirit of "Thinking About Our Future with Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro" held at Takashima Civic Hall on July 20, six Takashima High School students will present "Our Future, Takashima's Future." High school students will also serve as emcees. The opening performance will be delivered by the Takashima Municipal Adogawa Junior High School brass band. In the classrooms, junior high school students will showcase what they love and excel at, including English speech contests, dress and painting exhibits, JR train announcements, and brass band ensembles. In addition, cross-generational interaction will be fostered through the "Takashima Odori," supported by the Takashima Bon Odori Song Preservation Society. Other programs include interactions with the communication robot "BOCCO," the Future Cafe, and TeensLive. The event aims to bring vibrancy back to the nostalgic elementary school.
