■* What is geoscience collaboration?*
In Hokkaido, local school collaborative activities are referred to as “earth science collaboration,” and activities are actively developed in which the local community and schools collaborate and collaborate as mutual partners, with the aim of building a win-win relationship between the local community and the school. I am.
Geoscience collaboration is a variety of activities carried out in cooperation and collaboration between the local community and schools in order to support the learning and growth of children throughout the region.The local community and school collaborate and exchange opinions and learn from each other with the growth of children as the center. In doing so, connections between local residents will become stronger, leading to the construction and revitalization of the foundations of an independent local community.

Scene from the lecture
Problem-solving experience held as an icebreaker
Under the theme of “What do we learn and why?” we held a lecture aimed at creating opportunities for students to confront various social issues and think about the future of local communities. Many people said that they realized that local issues are not someone else’s problem, and some people related to Kaminokuni Town said they saw the potential to make the town more attractive through high school inquiry learning. The lecture was the first step in collaboration between the community and the school.

Based on the theme of “What can I do to make Kaminokuni a better town?” local adults were stimulated and a lively exchange of opinions took place, creating a relationship where they could see each other’s faces. In addition to opinions such as building new buildings and cleaning up the town, there were also opinions from a young perspective, such as using SNS to disseminate information about the town’s appeal.
