Festival offers kids grown up job experiences
The Kids Job Simulated Experience Festival is something special, coming up a week from now at Itoman City.
The purpose of the jobs festival is for children to experience various occupations virtually, and study what society is through a realistic economic activity, such as getting a “salary”, and getting a prize or receiving service, by working. The festival runs 9:30 a.m. ~ 5 p.m. Saturday July 13th, and Sunday, July 14th, at the Nishizaki Athletic Park gymnasium at Nishizaki, Itoman City.
The event considers itself as the cause to fulfill dreams and hopes to the occupation, which children themselves want to take up in the future. It also raises the feelings of gratitude for parents who work hard. More than 20 job simulated experiences will be
available, while simultaneously the “Itoman Home Town Festival” will be carried out on the athletic field. The Itoman Home Town Festival runs 5 ~ 9 p.m. Organizes say the festival will be cancelled in the event of rain.
The festivals are free to enter; and once inside, a combination of both free job-simulated experiences and pay job simulated experiences will be available.
