The Japan Times reports that TEDxTohoku has asked Tohoku students whose lives were changed by the disaster to give their thoughts for the recovery of Japan from the Great East Japan earthquake. The aim of TEDxTohoku is to provide ideas and activities that can help revitalize areas affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
