On February 3 (Sun), the 6th Nagano Regional Conference on Lifelong Integrated Education was held under the theme "Lifelong Integrated education: Education Excels Everything-In search of the true purpose of education- at the Wakasato Municipal Cultural Hall, Nagano City. The event also marked the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Nomura center for Lifelong Integrated Education.
In the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident, members of the Nagano branch tool a hard look at the way they lived since then. Furthermore, since they had the chance to listen to the Director General Mrs. Kaneko's New Year message for 2012, they felt strongly that they should not live in a business as usual manner. They decided to have the courage to challenge the way they live in this critical time. A request, therefore, was made to the Board of Directors to hold a regional conference. After the request was heard, all the members of the branch gave thought and talked over the theme of the conference and its aspirations, which were duly endorsed by the Board. With the announcement of the conference, members wasted no time on effort to solicit attendance from every corner of the prefecture.
From the extremely hot season to the cold weather, and to the last minute of the day, members visited as many people as possible and were encouraged by faithful, and sincere responses they received and by a sense of connectedness. With gratitude and delight we were ready for the day.
On the day of the conference, the place was filled with more than 500 attendants from Nagano Prefecture as well as from the rest of the country. The attendants shared the day engaged in passionate discussion in quest of the real purpose of education against the background of challenging circumstances. |
