For five days from the 3rd to the 7th of next month, World will host four male students from its Port Island headquarters and the neighboring Kobe Municipal Minatojima Junior High School during the Hyogo Prefectural Board of Education's "Try-it Week," an experiential activity week. They will work together to create costumes for a professional musician's concert.

This concert is a collaboration with a professional musician, held annually at the same event by TOA, an audio and visual equipment manufacturer also headquartered on Port Island. Since 2010, World has been in charge of costume creation for each event.

The junior high school students learned design from professional designers on the 3rd, and then spent two days on the 4th and 5th drawing designs. They then cut and sewed the fabric, taking into consideration silhouettes and patterns, to complete their costumes. The following day, the 6th, they visited TOA for a costume explanation and fitting, and observed a rehearsal in costume. Final adjustments were made to the costumes on the 7th, and they were delivered. The project concludes with a viewing of the concert "Shimakko Tsumugine - Spinning Sounds" at the TOA-operated Xebec Hall, where they will serve as costume designers.

Try-Do Week has been held since 1998 for all second-year students in the lower stages of public junior high schools and prefectural secondary schools in order to utilize the lessons learned from the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake and to enhance education that fosters the "power to live." Over the past 15 years, over 750,000 people have participated in activities at over 240,000 locations. While approximately 80% of the activities are work experience activities, other activities include volunteer and welfare experiences, cultural and artistic creation, and agriculture, forestry, and fisheries.
