This project is actively working for SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), newly organized with the local Film Festival Committee. Since 2020, Mr. Joya, a local resident, has been organizing the film festival with the goal of revitalizing the region. There is a large rock (standing 100 meters high and 500 meters wide) in the town, and this film festival is a unique event where movies are projected onto the rock. The festival creates events that can only take place in this town, highlighting the people, nature, and culture of the area. This year marks the first international workcamp held.
