Summer Vacation SDGs Initiative: ‘Nature Positive Program for the Earth and the Future’ at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion Reborn Stage, Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai”
On Thursday, August 14, 2025, at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion “Reborn Stage” of the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, the stage production “Inochi Meguru Bōken (The Adventure of Life Circulation)”, produced by Shoji Kawamori, will collaborate with the participatory event “Mirai Bukatsu in Reborn Stage,” hosted by TOKYO SHOSEKI CO., LTD. and co-hosted by pavilion partner TOPPAN Holdings Inc.
Under the title “Summer Holiday SDGs Initiative: Nature Positive Program for the Earth and the Future,” the event will present a day of youth-led action where Earth Savers—children engaged in protecting the planet—take center stage.
This event provides a platform for children to express a new global value: “Nature Positive”—restoring nature. With keywords such as biodiversity, future education, technology, and creative expression, the program will feature children’s presentations, original choreography by popular creator BUNKEI, group dances, and choral performances. It’s a summer day of learning, experience, and action, where children’s voices and imagination connect with the world. Join us in supporting the small but mighty steps of the next generation of Earth Savers.
