In which UN MDG bestfit (if apply): ?:Who is benefited ?: Citizens who lives within Nagahama JCI area especially children
Objective : Area of JCI Nagahama is expected its population will be decreasing in thefuture. Therefore the number of adults who develop the community of thefuture will be decreasing as well. In order to solve this issue JCINagahama changes an awareness of adults in a community in a positive
way and create the system of education that grow young adults who arein charge of developing the community in a next generation within 5years.
Overview : JCI Nagahama developed 5 year plan for solving issues in thecommunity. One of the issues is decreasing of population. Since thepopulation of the city is decreasing a number of people who develop thecommunity will be decreasing as well in the future. Therefore we need togrow and educate the children who are willing to stay in their hometown
or come back to their hometown eventually in the future and contribute to
the society. The survey of freshmen at high school indicates that they
don’t know what to learn exactly even though they have a specific goal or
dream job. Also they want to come back to the town in the future even if
they get a job outside of the town. JCI Nagahama concluded that adults
should get involved with those children and know what they need and letthem have wide vision of their future. For the reason we provided job
opportunities for children where they can experience many things withadults in the community.
Results : JCI Nagahama surveyed all the parents of children who join the activity.
They all answered that their children now clearly understood what kind ofaction they should take to get their ideal jobs. All of the parents except
one answered they agree with the idea of JCI Nagahama. JCI Nagahama
created the document report of the program to submit it to the chief boardof education in Nagahama City and Maibara City and asked theiropinions. As the result, JCI Nagahama obtained their promises of thatthey will support the project from now on. JCI Nagahama was requested
by principle/vice principle association to inform the idea of education.
Actions Taken : November to December 2014 : JCI Nagahama surveyed to the institutionof education and city council to know what is necessary to grow children
who develop and contribute to the community in the future. January
2015 : JCI Nagahama concluded that this kind of education should bedone by 16 years old in which children they finish their compulsoryeducation. February to March 2015 : JCI Nagahama surveyed all the 16years old students within a city to know if they are aware of the issue. Theresult is, 1) 60% of the students answered they have a ideal job in thefuture. 80% answered they don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t know what to learn exactly toget their jobs. 2) 67% answered they want to come back to theirhometown in the future because they grow up there and they havefamilies and friends there. March 2015
Based on issues mentioned
above, JCI Nagahama named the education required in the community\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Vision 16\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" and concluded we need to take theseaction below.
Let children think both their future and the future of theircommunity together and have wide vision.
To achieve , adults of thecommunity should get involved with children and let children keep
challenging to get their ideal job. April 2015

know the job they were not even interested in.
Children had a chance
to listen to people who work in the community and they learned what isnecessary to get their ideal jobs.
Let the children imagine the futureof the community and let them think what they hope to their community ifthey work there.
JCI Nagahama provided the activity to specify .
Children presented their dream and what they obtained withto theparents and members of educational organization.
Through thisprogram, JCI Nagahama informed the importance of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Vision16\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" to parents and members of educational organization andpromoted to change their awareness. August 2015 JCI Nagahama
surveyed the parents of the students who joined the program. Also
created the report of the program and interviewed to members ofeducational organization. September 2015 JCI Nagahama informed
the report of the program and idea of \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Vision16\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" to viceprinciple association of elementary school and junior high school inNagahama City and principle association of elementary school in Maibara
City. JCI Nagahama evaluated the effect of the program based on thesurvey and interview, and discussed how to develop this program for thenext year.
Recommendations : 1 To let the children have wide vision and specific process to their future.
JCI Nagahama can provide an opportunity to children to experiencevarious jobs whether they like it or not, and know the world they did know
and have a wide vision. Children think about vision of their futurechanged their behavior in their daily life. However, children know only apart of society. JCI Nagahama must strengthen the vision children draw
by letting them have wider vision. To achieve above, it is ideal that adultsof the community directly teach children what they want to know. 2 Let
children keep challenging by sustaining the education what JCI
Nagahama consider it`s important with adults of entire community. JCINagahama obtained agreement and cooperation against \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Vision
16\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" by communicating with member of administrativeeducational organization including the superintendent of education inNagahama City and Maibara City. JCI Nagahama obtained a cooperationfrom people who work in the community and offered children job
experiences and what is necessary for getting job. JCI Nagahama gained
an agreement from the parents by appealing the importance\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Vision 16\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\". However, the support from the community
is limited. JCI Nagahama thinks it is possible to sustainably educate thechildren who will develop their community of the future by promoting\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"Vision 16\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" in the entire community. The above can beaccomplished by developing a cooperative network with companies andgroups as many as possible within the community.
