Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the future challenges of collaboration
between community and school based on transformation of staff and residents seen in
the activities of the H Group Home for the older adults with dementia, which have
been working on practice of singing Warabeuta Play as a key activity once a month
since February 2023, and the interviews with the director of the Community
Collaboration Office. As a result, it was considered that musical activities based on the
Warabeuta Play functioned effectively to facilitate communication between
participants, and that improvised participatory performances were produced according
to the situation.
In terms of collaboration with school education, interviews with operators of
the H Group Homes suggested an attitude of “ thinking together what to do so” and
issues such as verbalization, evidence, and safety to promote understanding among
parents.
