Last Saturday (February 25th), we held a Zoom exchange event titled "Let's Connect Now: Yuriage and Canada," sponsored by the Nagano Seminar at the College of Industrial and Social Sciences, Ritsumeikan University.
This seminar focuses on "social innovation," which involves creating technological innovations to solve social problems. In the Yuriage district, which suffered extensive damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake, they are conducting research on area management that contributes to disaster recovery from the perspective of revitalizing local exchange and promoting international exchange.
[Event Details] Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, Yuriage, Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, received tremendous support from Canada. Therefore, with the desire to cherish and maintain the connection between Canada and Yuriage since the disaster, we have planned an event that allows for face-to-face, two-way exchange. (Japanese is welcome!)
Dear JCCOC members,
We supported the Zoom event, “Let's Connect Now Yuriage and Canada” being held this Saturday, February 25, by the Nagano research team of Ritsumeikan University.
The research team conducts research on the theme of “social innovation,” which involves technological innovation to solve social problems. In the Yuriage area, which was severely damaged by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the team is conducting area management research to contribute to earthquake recovery from the perspective of revitalizing local exchange and promoting international exchange.
[Event Details] After the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, Yuriage, Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, received significant support from Canada. To cherish the connection between Canada and Yuriage after the disaster, an event is planned to allow for a two-way exchange in a visible form. Zoom will be used to connect both sides online and hold an exchange.
