Green IslandStarbucks Japan children's summer experiences: disaster preparedness in Yokohama, sanshin in Okinawa and piano in Nagoya
Summer experience program
From August 2 to September 1, selected stores in Japan used partners' skills to provide children with out-of-school experiences in art, crafts, music and sign language, addressing gaps in summer experience opportunities that can arise from family circumstances.
Yokohama: disaster-preparedness experience
On August 21, Yokohama Bay Quarter worked with the Yokohama Fire Bureau to offer elementary-school-age and younger children emergency-call practice, CPR and disaster-lantern making, with no reservation required to make participation easier.
Okinawa: sanshin and Eisa
On August 21, ABLO Uruma in Okinawa invited the local Goya Youth Association so children and other visitors could practice the sanshin and watch an Eisa performance, helping younger generations encounter local traditional culture.
Nagoya: children's piano lessons
Over three days in August, a piano-major partner at APITA Nagakute in Nagoya brought a keyboard and made note-label stickers, providing individual lessons for beginners and children who wanted to improve.
