organizations, governments, welfare-related businesses, and education and medical professionals. It becomes.
We will provide opportunities for interaction at all meetings, and provide opportunities for those involved in YC and other fields to deepen mutual understanding and forge deeper connections. Our main aim is to provide opportunities to directly hear the voices of many stakeholders through dialogue and explore ways to provide support. This is aimed at people involved with young carers (related parties, private organizations, governments, welfare-related businesses, etc.). Participation fee is free (*advance registration required). We look forward to your participation. ◇Aims and objectives throughout all 4 episodes (1): “Relationship building” We aim to strengthen our support system by building a sustainable network where participants can continue to exchange information after the event. In fact, the second “Wazukuri” held in 2023 resulted in cases in which supporters in nearby areas continued to exchange information by holding regular meetings even after the event. (2): “Information exchange” We provide a place for those involved and their supporters to discuss concerns, exchange information, and deepen solidarity, transcending the boundaries between regions with many and few social resources for young carers. (3): “Introducing each case study and promoting social resource development” By learning about advanced case studies and grassroots efforts to support young carers, participants in areas with few social resources will be encouraged to develop and work on social resources in their communities.
