The Nagano Regional Conference on Lifelong Integrated Education, commemorating the 30th anniversary of Nagano Branch, was held in the Wakasato Hall in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture on Sunday March 19, 2006.
The conference theme was "Lifelong Integrated Education: What should
we be doing now? - For the children of the future".
Nagano Branch which started out as Nagano Chapter of Nomura Center in 1975
convened its first Regional Conference in 1982. Since then it has hosted
four regional conferences.
Founding Director General Mrs. Yoshiko Nomura had deep feelings for Nagano
which has been known as the "education prefecture". From the
early days there were numerous requests from Nagano Prefecture to the Center,
and as if in mutual response, Mrs. Nomura gave as many as seventeen speeches
in Nagano.
This was the first conference convened by this branch under the leadership
of Director General Mrs. Yumiko Kaneko and also the first conference since
the post-war generation has succeeded to the branch chief. With the understanding
and cooperation of their families, branch members devoted themselves energetically
to soliciting participants, right throughout the punishing summer heat
and the heavy winter snowfalls.
The result was positive, there was prominent participation from government
and political circles and on the day, 650 attendees from all walks of life
filled the hall.
At the opening ceremony, Mrs. Fusako Miyasaka, Chair of the Conference Steering Committee made opening remarks followed by congratulatory addresses by Mr. Akira Maruyama, Superintendent of Education for Nagano Prefecture and Mr. Mutsuhide Tateiwa, Superintendent of Education for Nagano City. |
