?On December 13th, the “2025 Oregon Cup English Presentation Contest,” co-hosted by Toyama Prefecture and the U.S. state of Oregon, was held at the Toyama Kenmin Kaikan.

This year’s theme was “Toward a Multicultural Society: Perspectives of Young People in Japan and Oregon.” A total of 11 teams from within Toyama Prefecture participated.
