Focusing on education of children, parents/guardians, and school personnel
The Internet and mobile phones have become important tools in our society, but their spread has also given rise to a range of social issues related to their inappropriate and unethical use. In recent times, children are increasingly exposed to the Internet and mobile phones, and resulting contact with harmful content has led to an increase in incidents in which they fall victim to crime and other kinds of trouble. One way in which the NTT Group is addressing such issues is to organize educational activities designed particularly for children and for parents/guardians and school personnel responsible for protecting children.

Summer holiday events held for elementary school children to learn to use services correctly and appropriately
Continuing on from fiscal 2007, the NTT Group held "NTT Dream Kids Net Town 2007" summer holiday events where children have fun experiencing first-hand how a communications network operates and also learning about our latest networks. (NTT East, NTT West, NTT Communications, NTT DATA, and NTT DOCOMO participated.)
In fiscal 2007, these events were held only in Tokyo and Sendai, but in fiscal 2008, Sapporo, Osaka, and Fukuoka events were added. We also launched an interactive learning website to enable those unable to participate in these events in person to study the same content online.
