Overview

概要：

JCI Yamagata reached out to local citizens interested in bettering their community by calling on like-minded individuals to assemble
together through a Facebook page. With the citizens who responded to our invitation, we held an off-site meeting that helped us to gain ashared understanding of the problems facing the local community and explore ways of actively working towards positive change

(1) JCI Yamagata gathered participants for an off-site meeting by reaching out to citizens with an interest in "identifying
problem areas in the local community", "exploring ways of bringing about positive change in the local community", and "finding
like-minded individuals interested in thinking about the local community".
(2) We used Facebook groups and "like" boards to encourage the entire group of participants to discuss problem areas in the

local community along with ideas for improvement. The participants learned about and participated in community and city
development efforts, and were introduced to methods of utilizing social networks to widely promote such efforts.
(3) Participating citizens shared information with each other, which enabled them to gain a deeper understanding of theircommunity.
(4) JCI Yamagata provided local citizens with an opportunity to gain a new awareness that will allow them to take the lead inworking for the benefit of their local community.

Results

結果：(1) By becoming more interested in and knowledgeable about their community, local citizens were able to gain a newawareness that will enable them to make an active effort on behalf of the local community.
(2) A "Yamagata City Development Seminar" was organized as the result of a proposal by citizens who wished to continue theeffort to learn about and promote positive change in their community.

Our Facebook page received an additional 200 "likes" after the off-site meeting, showing an increase in interested citizens.
In addition, a plan for a "Yamagata City Development Seminar" was proposed for the benefit of citizens who wished to continue
to learn about their community.
The information meeting for this seminar attracted even more local citizens than the original off-site meeting.

Subsequent to the off-site meeting, our Facebook page had received a total of over 400 "likes" and over 40 "shares". The
information meeting for the "Yamagata City Development Seminar" proposed after the off-site meeting was originally expected
to attract about 100 attendees, but in fact drew registrations from 130 individuals.

We were able to foster the development of citizens capable of actively and positively working for thebenefit of their community by enabling a transition from a situation in which citizens considered theircommunity on an individual basis to one in which citizens gained a common awareness and learned
how they themselves could point out problem areas and promote revitalization.
