Normally there is a school in a local community. Local people support schools and children learn traditional culture and history in/from the community.
However, communities in Fukushima’ s Futaba-gun were shattered by the Great East Japan Earthquake and the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station in 2011. In this situation, the role of the school is to make a local community in it. Every place where schoolchildren learn can be considered as a school. In other words, there is a community in a school.
Children visit temporary housing to interact with senior citizens and invite people to the schoolhouse to learn local culture and tradition. It can help to rebuild relationships in the community.
In the meantime, it was considered that a new educational program was crucial not only for the revitalization of communities but also for creating the future of communities. So education superintendents of 8 towns/villages worked out the policy vision for innovation in education at Futaba-gun.
According to this vision, new“Futaba Future School”was established in 2015. Also we pursue the program to master the skills of problem solving etc. called “Furusato Souzou Gaku”at all schools of Futaba-gun from elementary school through high school. In this program students can learn their local culture and tradition, work with their local communities and try to plan the future of the communities.
