(ATR) Tokyo 2020 unveiled the "Creating Tomorrow Together" project aimed at engaging the general public for opinions on the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Citizens of Japan are encouraged to write an essay during the summer months giving their opinions and dreams of the 2020 Olympics. The organizing committee will read these essays and take the best suggestions and opinions into consideration as the preparations for the Games continue.
"We want to inspire the new generation with the Olympic Spirit. They are the future of our nation," Tokyo 2020 sports director Koji Murofushi said in a statement.
To promote the project, Murofushi went to a local Tokyo school and talked to fifth grade students about the Olympic values.
"We want them to be actively involved in our preparations. It is of crucial importance to make young people realize that this is also their Games and they have a key role to play throughout the entire process of our preparations and during the Games themselves."
