[Dream Lesson] Report from Ishiuchi Elementary School in South Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture

On Friday, September 12, 2025, as part of Trail Runners' SDGs project, the "National Mountain Region Future Building Project," we held a "Dream Lesson" at Ishiuchi Elementary School in South Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, as a contribution to the local community around the venue of DEEP JAPAN ULTRA 100." The lesson taught students how to turn their passion into a job while remaining in their hometown.

This "Dream Lesson" was implemented as a model project for promoting entrepreneurship education in Niigata Prefecture. Overall producer Matsunaga Hiroaki served as lecturer.

The "Dream Lesson" was held for one 60-minute period. Indoors, Matsunaga introduced himself, explained what trail running is, what his job entails, what kind of child he was in sixth grade, and what skills will be important in the future, while answering questions from the students and teachers.

Afterwards, Hiroaki practiced together for the 1500m for the friendly track and field competition of South Uonuma city primary school.

Thanks to every one who include teachers, students and all.
