(Note the early dates for the October 24 and November 14 meetings.)

Community Engagement in Rural Japan

In Ueyama, Okayama Prefecture, the "Everyone’s Grandchild Project" is successfully revitalizing the rural community by creating inter-generational connections and preserving cultural heritage. The project has successfully revitalized abandoned rice terraces, creating a thriving community of 80 elderly residents and 40 younger individuals. Amelia Ijiri will share her experience with the project, including how young residents are promoting sustainable living and enhancing biodiversity.
