Mitsuke City Human Rights Mini Festival (Lecture by Yusaku Kiyama & Children's Cafeteria)

About this event

Based on the belief that "Life is the foundation of all human rights," a human rights lecture titled "What Battling Cancer Taught Me About the Preciousness of Life" by singer Yusaku Kiyama will be held. Mr. Kiyama will speak about the preciousness of life and bonds with family through his own experience battling cancer and his songs. At the lecture, an exhibition and award ceremony for winning works of human rights slogans and poster designs submitted by students from elementary, junior high, and special support schools in the city will also take place. Furthermore, after the lecture, a Kodomo Shokudo (community children's cafeteria) will be held as an opportunity to reflect on the importance of life and connections with others through "food," serving tonjiru (pork miso soup) (limited to 300 servings). An admission numbered ticket is required for the lecture, which is distributed at the Citizen Taxation Division counter on the 1st floor of City Hall. Because parking is limited, the use of public transportation is recommended. This is a participatory awareness event where people of a wide range of generations, from children to adults, can contemplate "life" and "human rights" through artwork creation, artwork judging, the lecture, and participation in the children's cafeteria.
