Hachioji CampusA guest speaker from Fukutsu City, Fukuoka Prefecture was invited to give a lecture.

On Monday, June 10, 2024, a class on Public Policy Theory I and Regional Policy Theory I was held at Hachioji Campus with Ms. Yuko Miyaki, a former Fukuoka Prefecture official who is now working on community development as a connector for the Fukutsu City Future Co-Creation Center Kikkake Lab in Fukuoka Prefecture.
This class, taught by Akira Parki at Faculty of Law Department of Political Science Associate Professor, covers a wide range of theoretical and practical aspects of policies implemented by various government agencies. This time, Mr. Miyaki, who has practical experience related to the content of the daily lectures, gave a lecture, aiming to deepen students' understanding by exposing them to what is actually done in the field of local government.

Fukutsu City has established the Fukutsu City Future Co-Creation Center Kikkake Lab as an innovation center that organizes and supports projects aimed at solving local issues. With the need for collaboration among various parties, including not only the government but also local residents, local organizations, and companies, the city's efforts have attracted attention nationwide. Based on his abundant experience in urban development as a connector, Mr. Miyagi lectured through practical examples of urban development in Fukutsu City. In Public Policy Theory I, he spoke about the importance of nurturing residents who are involved in civic activities, basic ideas about volunteering, and specific volunteer activities, which aroused the students' interest. In Regional Policy Theory I, he spoke about the importance of creating a system that involves residents. Through this class, the students learned and discovered a lot from on-site efforts, making it an exciting and meaningful class for them.

We will continue to invite guest speakers who are at the forefront of urban development and incorporate on-site efforts into the learning process, thereby helping to acquire knowledge and foster a passion for creating a prosperous local community.
