CCC Marketing Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kazuhiko Kitamura), a marketing solutions company within the Culture Convenience Club (CCC) Group, and T Point Japan Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroaki Nagashima), a points alliance company, have launched a social project called "School General Election Project"We are working on this.

With the referendum on the Osaka Metropolitan Government Plan set to take place on Sunday, November 1, 2020, the School General Election Project aimed to create an opportunity for junior and senior high school students, who will be responsible for the future, to think about the future of Osaka. From Tuesday, October 13, 2020 to Sunday, November 1, 2020, the project invited people to vote online for or against the Osaka Metropolitan Government Plan, and received votes from 1,848 people under the age of 20 living in the Kansai region (953 of whom were from Osaka Prefecture).
The results showed that among young people under the age of 29 living in the Kansai area (1,848 people), 58.7% were in favor and 41.3% were against. Within the Kansai area, among young people under the age of 18 living in Osaka Prefecture (97 people), 54.6% were in favor and 45.4% were against, showing that the majority of people were in favor, which is the opposite of the results of the actual referendum.

Through the "School General Election Project," CCC Marketing and T Point Japan aim to foster "global citizenship" among young people, enabling them to proactively engage in, make decisions about, and take action on social issues, leading to the achievement of SDG Goal 4: "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all."With "UNIQUE DATA, SMALL HAPPY" as our group mission, we will continue to work to create new social value, aiming for "T" to be a presence that "connects people and society."

<"School General Election Project" Service Overview>
■Project name: School General Election Project

■Project start date: Tuesday, October 13, 2020
■Project details: The "School General Election Project" is based on CCC's founding intention of "providing a base for young people with information on new lifestyles," and is a "place" where young people who will be responsible for the future can co-create new discoveries and ideas that will serve as the foundation for living in the future. Aimed at the younger generation, from junior high and high school students to those in their 20s, we will raise themes related to issues affecting the future generation of young people from a wide range of areas, from politics and social issues to higher education and school, and provide neutral information on the issues raised and a forum for deeper dialogue among people of the same generation. By actually "voting" on the website, we will create an opportunity for each junior and senior high school student to take an active role and express their opinions. We also plan to publish articles on note reporting on the voting results that compile the "voices" of junior and senior high school students, as well as interviews with experts, and provide a forum for planning and holding dialogue with opinion leaders.
