Requirements for implementing a study tour that organically develops local activities to achieve the local vision

Abstract

Accepting the training trip to write an article about the efforts of the “Odawara City Digital Garden City Nation Comprehensive Strategy” became a “trigger” to organically develop local activities toward achieving the local vision. The requirements for implementing a training trip that produces results are: 1) to accompany the local government until it draws up an implementation plan and finds a vision, in accordance with the design thinking process; 2) to have the training trip participants be “university students who intend to write articles introducing the companies they interviewed as evidence proving their practical business management skills, and to use the results in their job hunting activities.” 3) to establish the training trip as a promotional and accelerator measure to organically develop local activities.
