At the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake, a gathering was held in Sendai City where young people from Tohoku, who were elementary and junior high school students, talked about their progress over the past eight years and their current feelings.

The youth were divided into groups and talked about their progress and their current feelings. Among them, a male university student in Miyagi Prefecture, who was shed at home in the fifth grade of elementary school and whose grandmother is still missing, Every day, my trembling didn't stop and I was forced to transfer to school, so I was very depressed, but my friends were always there, so I was able to regain my energy little by little. ”
In addition, a female university student in Miyagi Prefecture, who was a first-year junior high school student at the time, said, “The younger brother who was born after the earthquake said that even if he saw the video of a car that was swept away by the tsunami, a toy car was being swept away. I didn't know it was a disaster, and I feel a responsibility because the disaster will be weathered if I don't convey my experience. "
After the gathering, a female university student who participated from Iwate Prefecture said, “I haven't lost my family and haven't talked so much about the earthquake so far, but it is important that each person tells me about it. I was reminded again. "
