NIJIN Co., Ltd. announces 2026 Education Expo in Japan

NIJIN Co., Ltd. has announced the “NIJIN Education Expo 2026,” a series of events aimed at addressing educational challenges in Japan, such as rising truancy rates and teacher burnout. The expo will take place on November 21–22, 2026, at the DMM Roppongi headquarters and within a metaverse space.

As part of the expo, the “Children’s Presentation Contest” invites elementary, junior high, and high school students to propose social changes. The program seeks to recognize talents that traditional academic metrics often overlook. Finalists will receive mentoring to refine their ideas before presenting to a panel of business leaders and journalists.

Additionally, the “NIJIN Teacher Award 2026” is accepting entries from educators and practitioners who have implemented successful classroom or systemic changes. The award focuses on real-world impact, such as improving student autonomy or enhancing teacher well-being, with the final pitch scheduled for the expo’s second day.
