Panasonic is committed to offering opportunities for environmental education to children around the world to help nurture global sustainable leaders of tomorrow. Through this feature series, we will explore one of these education programs Panasonic is actively involved in, a hands-on video education program titled Kid Witness News. A program that has been around since 1989 with more than 160,000 participants, it aims to boost creativity and communication skills and foster teamwork through video production by children at the elementary and secondary school levels.
