As the place where more than 25 offices of UN organizations reside, Japan is expected to play a key role in international sphere. Sadly, however, the level of social awareness does not necessarily correspond to its global expectation. Regarding this situation, Japan Offices of UN organizations are eagerly seeking the way to cultivate the social support in Japan, which is vital for robust approach.

In light of this concern, Youths, the ones who possess the never-tiring energy and passion, are gaining more and more attention as a game changer. Their capacity of communication and capability on digital tools cannot be dismissed or absent from the global approaches, notably in awareness augmentation.
