This year's Summit held online began with the 3 mottos, "Be supportive," "Raise your hand cheerfully" and "Respect everyone's opinion." The kids were a bit shy at first when they did self-introduction, but gradually put on a smile after getting comfortable. During the quiz corner where they learned about SDGs, the kids discussed in teams and answered questions related to global issues from "Food Loss" to "Environment."

A special workshop was held featuring a lecture by Yuichi Ito, a well-known clay animator and a professor at the Graduate School of Tokyo University of the Arts. As soon as Prof. Ito’s demo has ended, each team started on their work. The theme was "Pass the SDGs Baton!" Using the waste materials that the kids brought, they linked the SDGs wheel that represents the baton to each country. Assigned with tasks on camera, background, and animation, the kids then continued to work on making the video. It was an interesting workshop that even when the next program has started, kids continue to work on the video.
Their amazing work is here (YouTube).

Discussion on the 5 videos of final entry. On the entry from Malaysia about bullying, the kids from Japan commented, "The message of the video was easy to understand. Even though the language was different, the concept was relatable and compelling." On the video from Vietnam about being compared by the adults to other kids, participants with similar experience shared opinions such as "Every child is different," and "Parents should see this video." Entries from Japan and Brazil with topics about persons with disability were also very inspirational. The kids commented on Japan's video that shows the role of surrounding people through sports with compassion and charity, while Brazil's video that focuses on each person's ability to enjoy life. The kids were also inspired by the video from China filled with wonderful messages for medical workers working hard to fight against COVID-19. At the end, the kids chose to give The Kids' Award to the entries from Japan and Vietnam.

For the Secondary category, two schools from Japan and Malaysia participated. It started with personal introduction wearing their country's traditional clothes.
During the SDGs quiz, the discussion also started about "Food Loss," similar with the Primary category in the previous day. But from there, the discussion went to the topic of "Global Warming" resulting from deforestation as part of food production, then "Energy" used in food transportation, then "Plastic bags" used when buying foods. Everyone agreed that "Every problem is connected," and that "Ethical consumption is important" - a high level of understanding expected from the Secondary category.

The kids listened to the demo of Professor Ito on the explanation of animation video, and how to actually make the objects move in a video. Even though it was the first time for some, surprisingly, their work progressed smoothly. The kids from Japan, who for some time before the event brainstormed with their teammates about the concept, were able to show great teamwork and present with impressive global perspective. Finally, their work was combined with the animated video made by the Primary category from the previous day to create a masterpiece. Their amazing work is here (YouTube).

The Secondary category discussed on 3 videos. The entry from Vietnamese students, who, unfortunately, could not join the event, is about kids playing, learning, and growing up safely. The team from Japan gave an incisive comment, "While it is noticeable that barrier-free design is advancing, comparing to the Western society, there are still lots of difficulties." The video from Japan expressed that the things that may be simple to many, are not simple in the eyes of people who have disabilities. Malaysian students were really proud of them because of their strength. On the other hand, the video from Malaysia which focuses on a boy who works to help the family, left an impression, "he seems to be enjoying while working." All of the entries are connected to the SDGs message of "Leaving no one behind." Then, the Kids' Award went to the entry from Malaysia.
