Our future School
〜Where each of us can challenge our potential〜

Schools across the country have been closed and the way we spend our time in school has changed dramatically since it reopened.


But this is not the first time this has happened.

Looking back at the past, the shape of schools has changed a lot, and even today, schools in Japan and other countries are different.

What kind of school do you want your school to be in the future?

What does the school's facilities - classrooms, gymnasiums, music rooms, playgrounds - look like in the future?

Expanding the concept based on themes for the future, such as Society 5.0 and SDGs, express yourself in the world of Minecraft.

To use Minecraft Education Edition, you will need a Windows PC, Mac or iPad.
Participation is open to individuals 18 years of age or younger as of March 31, 2021 (with parental consent).


Learn more about the competition here. The site is in Japanese, so please discuss with your children what they could do to get more information in English.
Regarding registration, you will need to fill all documents in Japanese. Again, please disuss with your children what could be done if you don't speak Japanese....  



Minecraft Cup
What is the Idea Sharing Team?
With regards to the SDGs and Society 5.0, what kind of school would you like to see?

Together with the 2030 SDGs Card Game Facilitators, each contestant can refine their ideas and realise them with their teammates.

A "Idea Sharing Team" will consist of 5-10 people depending on the number of contestants. Regular meetings will be held to discuss and deepen the ideas of each contestant supporting their creation.

Objectives of Idea Sharing Team

  • To experience the possibility of thinking and creating something together beyond borders, such as nationalities and languages.
  • To experience the diversity of people and ideas in the world.


How you could assist your child with this project

  • Please believe in the power of children and watch over them.
    e.g.
    ✔　"You could do this, if you like."
    (Only when asked for your opinion. )
    ✖　"You should do this."

  • Take a glance at the world your child sees.
    ✔　"..."
    (Just be there and quietly observe what they do) 　　
    ✖　”That is wrong!"

  • Assist the children to accomplish their project on their own.
    ✔　"How are you going with the project?"
    ✖　"You should do it properly!"

What you could do an adult...
  • Be there to listen to your children when they encounter difficulties.
  • Participate in your children's meetings as much as possible as an observer.
  • Take notes on what you feel as you observe the children meetings.
  • Share your notes with the children after they have submitted their work.

Your Team Facilitators

I run afterschool centres and also provide various oppotunities for children and adults.

I would like to encourage and assist children to realise their ideas which go beyond adutls' imagination. I would like help adults see this children's power.

I believe that a new world will emerge if we can go beyond various barriers and weave people's feelings.

Children may be small existance that we want to protect and care for. But their imagination and creativity can play a major role in creating our future. What we can do as adults is to empower children.
