Dear Friends,

Earth Watching Club (EWC) is a community-based environmental learning project funded by the city of Nishinomiya, Japan. There are 27,300 schoolchildren who are participating. We take many kinds of "Eco-Actions" on a daily basis to make our community a better place not just for ourselves, but for all the people and creatures on the Earth -- for generations to come.

We know our planet is filled with like-minded young people who care about our environment, our cultures, our peace and our future.


This is an annual exhibition providing an opportunity for young people, both from Japan and overseas, to present their opinions, research, projects and activities on local and global environmental issues. We receive so many exciting works every year from Japan and overseas, from tiny, little craftworks to wall-size presentations on various environmental projects. We treat each and every work equally and present them ALL at the gallery.


So, let's share our visions, and make our voices heard!
