Our work
03-1ONE BALL MAKE WORLD
Overview
REALE WORLD works with children and young people around the world because we hope to help restore the world as it was always meant to be—a world of harmony and natural cycles—and create the future together with the next generation. To do so, we believe each person needs to shift toward a way of living that allows their unique abilities and potential to flourish. It begins with understanding ourselves, encountering different perspectives, trusting one another, and working together to shape a new society. What we offer is an “opportunity” and a “place” where that journey can begin. When we began searching for a way to connect with children and young people around the world, we discovered MY FOOTBALL KIT, an assembly-style football developed jointly by molten and nendo. The experience of creating “one ball” from many separate pieces reflects what we believe in: people with different backgrounds and unique qualities coming together to create a new world. In 2025, together with MY FOOTBALL KIT, we began our journey to visit all 196 countries around the world.
Sharing Experiences with Children Around the World by Visiting Every Country Over a Five-Year Journey
The program is simple. Together with local children, we assemble a football and then spend time playing together with the completed ball. Before long, not only the children but also the adults who are watching find themselves becoming just as engaged—sometimes even more so. We have witnessed this in country after country.
Launched in 2025, the project aims to visit 100 countries by 2028 and all 196 countries by 2030. In 2025, the program was held in nine countries: Nepal, Japan, the Philippines, Cambodia, Croatia, Vietnam, Germany, Myanmar, and Spain.
“ONE BALL MAKE WORLD” — Experiencing What It Means to Create the Future Together
Simple pieces come together to form a ball. Made from recycled materials, it is durable enough for active play. Even if a part is damaged, only that piece needs to be replaced.
After playing, the ball can be taken apart and assembled again, making it enjoyable whether alone or together with others. The joy comes from imagining, sharing ideas, and working together to build something as one.
After celebrating the completed ball and enjoying time playing together, everyone prepares for what comes next by putting everything away. Beyond differences in age, gender, nationality, and language, people come together to think, create, and build as one.
“ONE BALL MAKE WORLD” is an opportunity to experience and truly feel how we create the future together. Through this project, we hope to pass on that message.
