From Izumi Ward Residents' Activities Support Center
This course is aimed at those who are engaged in local activities, those who are interested, and those who want to start in the future. It was held for the purpose of learning that the harmony with people can be expanded by making good use of it.
Some said that they realized that they enjoyed a fulfilling time using both digital and analog, and that they learned that they could be more and more widely by connecting with local people than one person.
It was impressive that there were many participants saying that they were encouraged by the positive lecturer's talk of "Let's do it anyway".
In Izumi inhabitant of a ward activity support center, we will support lifelong learning and local action through lecture and planning event in future. We look forward to your participation and inquiries.
