Course Summary

The theme of this study group is "Practical knowledge of the transformation of Japanese society" and we will deepen our learning mainly through project work, reading in turn, and management of the study group.

Taking into account that the instructor in charge is a practitioner with experience as a management consultant, an employees of a government agency, an executive of an extra-governmental organization, a founder of a venture company, and a long-term intern of a major overseas political party, the following two points characterize our approach to problem finding and solution.
(1) An approach that includes setting the subject matter of issues across a variety of positions as a means of social change
(2) A fact-based approach to issues that have an expiration date

In this study group, the scope of questions will be the challenges of Japanese society, the direction of change, and strategies to realize such change. The questions can cover Japanese society, governance, Japanese-style organizations, administrative organizations, careers, social security, and so on.

The project work activities of the study group will include research activities for social change, advocacy activities for social change, and practical activities to bring about social change.
