On November 16, 2025 (Sunday), the final symposium for the "WAKA×YAMA SUMMER IDEATHON 2025," an ideathon organized by the student group WAKA×YAMA with the theme "Family Caregiving Burden ~Towards caregiving that allows families to live authentically~," was held at Wakayama Castle Hall. Adventure World sponsored this ideathon and, in August, conducted a kickoff program within the park to learn "design thinking" with the theme "Ideas for people and animals to live comfortably."

At the symposium, as the culmination of a program spanning about three months, 12 junior and senior high school students across five teams presented their ideas for solving the family caregiving burden. Every team conducted interview surveys with experts and stakeholders, went through trial and error in workshops, and presented their results. All presenters eagerly listened to and accepted feedback from the judges regarding the implementation of their ideas.

Adventure World's director, Koji Imazu, participated as a special judge and selected the Adventure World Award based on the perspective of "whether the stakeholders can envision a future where they live happily and authentically together."

Adventure World will continue to support junior and senior high school students in implementing their ideas and solving social issues.
