Students at various Japanese educational institutions have been engaging in community-focused activities through school-hosted festivals and volunteer work.

In mid-September, schools such as St. Stephen’s Academy and Clark Mita Campus held festivals where students managed food stalls, workshops, and games like target shooting and magnetic fishing to engage with local residents. 

By late September, student involvement expanded into volunteer roles at regional events. This included Clark Memorial International High School students assisting with equipment and childcare at community exchange events, and International Pacific University students participating in the Makiyama Grape Festival in Okayama City to manage booths and support grape picking activities.
