Around 700 New Students, Faculty, and Staff Display Their Dreams Across Campus. Sharing Dreams Across Nationalities and Generations as They Begin a New Chapter Together
WEWORLD Inc. (Head Office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Masaaki Ogino) participated in “April Dream 2026,” an initiative organized by PR TIMES, Inc., across multiple educational institutions it operates. The program was carried out at several campuses, including ISI Japanese Language School—which boasts the largest international student enrollment in Japan （※）—as well as Tokyo Business and Language College (TBL) and Nagano Business and Language College (NBL), where students from over 30 countries study together. During new student orientation, approximately 700 new students, faculty, and staff wrote their dreams on cards, which were then displayed across each campus.

Joining April Dream
“April Dream” is a cultural initiative launched by PR TIMES, Inc. that encourages people to share the dreams they genuinely hope to achieve on April 1, rather than telling April Fools’ jokes. WEWORLD Inc. joined the project out of a strong commitment to its group purpose: “Empowering People, Building Dreams, Connecting Worlds.”
Around 700 students, faculty, and staff of different nationalities and ages put their dreams into words and shared them with one another. This process sparks new conversation across campus, fosters connections among those with similar aspirations, and encourages greater understanding and respect for different cultures. By reflecting on their own futures and connecting through these shared dreams, individuals inspire and motivate one another. We believe that creating an environment where this can happen is central to our group’s commitment to supporting diverse paths to self-realization.

The school has a strong track record of admissions to top national, public, and private universities, as well as renowned art and music universities, meeting a wide range of academic goals. It also provides an environment where students can challenge and inspire one another, helping each individual reach their full potential.

Under the philosophy of “Cross the Border,” the college supports diverse career paths that go beyond conventional boundaries.
The Journey Toward Fulfilling Our Dreams
The “Dream Cards” collected through this project will remain on display across campus, providing students and faculty with a meaningful opportunity to learn about one another’s goals. Our group is committed to supporting each student’s vision for the future, helping them turn their dreams into reality through daily learning and career guidance.
Highlights from the day’s activities, along with student interview videos, are being shared on each school’s official social media channels. For a closer look at how the dreams are displayed across campus and to experience the atmosphere of each campus, please visit the link below.
