We held "let's talk with the mayor" @ Continuing MY Plaza!

　On July 17 (Sun), Mayor Takeharu Yamanaka visited MY Plaza (Tsuzuki Multicultural and Youth Exchange Plaza) (5th floor of Centerkita North Port Mall), and on the theme of "Nurturing children in the community". , And exchanged opinions with participants.
　Continuing MY Plaza is the only facility in the city that has two functions: a "local activity base for youth" and an "International Exchange Lounge". Mr. Hayashida commented, "Tsuki MY Plaza is a place where children can be supported regardless of nationality. In relation to children, which can be said to be the final stage of raising children, the relationship with a third adult who is neither a parent nor a teacher is very important, and I think it is a very important exit for child care. "
　After the talks, Mayor Yamanaka said, "This facility has a wide range of initiatives in cooperation with schools, local companies, district centers, etc., which can only be done by having two functions. Listening to the students and those who are active in the community, I felt that everyone who raised children in the community were the treasure. I would like to think about how the government can support the emotional activities. "

The two people who supported the KANJI Club as a volunteer for many years, asked by the mayor, "What is the driving force behind volunteer activities?"

"Let's talk with the mayor!" It is business that we hear story directly from groups where the mayor plays an active part in area and refers to municipal administration administration.
