Promotion of Social Capital

"Social Capital" represents the connection between people. In general, it is still unfamiliar to the word, but in recent years it has been used as a word to represent "local power" and "the power of residents".
When the connection between people becomes active, the participation of residents in local activities becomes more active, and the richness of local human relationships and the activation of local activities circulate in a virtuous cycle. Social capital has also been shown to have a positive impact on health.
This time, we have created a social capital promotion leaflet for "for those involved in local activities". In order to aim for local activities where everyone can play an active part, we have summarized the points that you want to share among those who are active in the area, so please use them in the event of local activities.
