Two VTubers and one pro eSports player will give a special class on gaming and streaming careers to students at Okayama Prefecture Kyosei High School on September 16. The session targets the school's eSports club and is part of the Machi Supa Cha Project, a regional revitalization effort by uyet Co., Ltd. that has been implemented in eight municipalities.
The Machi Supa Cha Project, run by uyet Co., Ltd., is sending three working professionals to Okayama Prefecture Kyosei High School on September 16. Shigure Mito and Nanahoshi Nana, both VTubers, and Fujimura, a pro eSports player affiliated with KADOKAWA FAV gaming, will lecture students in the school's eSports club on the work of streamers and game-related jobs from a career perspective.
The school has run an eSports club since 2014. Chairman Yasunobu Tanaka called eSports a new club activity for the Society 5.0 era, one that goes beyond traditional athletic and cultural clubs. Students already engage with local elementary schools and regional events, and the collaboration is meant to help them rediscover Niimi City's appeal and spread it beyond the region.
