Social participation of individuals is one of many ways to address issues in a community or society. There is a growing expectation to the social participation of individuals from the perspectives of addressing diverse social issues and individual autonomy, but in reality, it is difficult to make one’s first step. This course is an experience learning program in which students take initiatives to interact and cooperate with NPO staff, housewives and employees of public and private sectors to propose an experiment or a suggestion for building a mechanism to enhance “social participation of individuals”. Through the process of learning, students will consider the significance and possibility of social participation of individuals. This course also aims to provide learning opportunities which can be an anchorage to position social engagement in one’s life-career.
