In March 2011, Japan's northeast region suffered massive damage from a tsunami following a major earthquake. Panasonic held a restoration assistance program aimed at bringing children's smiles using a KWN workshop. Students expressed their "Words of Appreciation" and "Restoration Memories," through videos.



KWN members from UAE, took up the theme of PTSD damage caused by war. Living in a multiracial nation, they overcame various differences in religion and ways of thinking to join with their friends in producing a video. In terms of PTSD as well, they lead with phrases such as "Open your heart," and "Sympathy for others."



Students of Czech Republic and Slovakia in primary school joined together in Prague to take part in a video production workshop. This led to friendships across the borders. Then, Czech students from a secondary school, interviewed the girl's ice hockey team. Through a video production, they express "Sports support your dream."
