Kagoshima will run its community-based youth development campaign from November 1 to 30, 2026, encouraging families, schools, workplaces and neighbourhood organisations to take part.
The prefecture and its youth development council lead the campaign, with municipalities, education boards, police and local groups among the participating organisations. Each group is asked to organise activities suited to its own circumstances, independently or in cooperation with others.
The campaign builds on Kagoshima’s tradition of raising young people through the wider community, using a month when cultural, sporting and performing-arts events are common. Its stated aims include independence, a global outlook and an attachment to the local area.
