Considering Process of Project Design for the Sustainable Management and Implementation of Extracurricular and Self-Initiated Activities by First-year Students in a University

A Case Study of HOKKORISUN Project in Nagaoka Institute of Design.

Abstract

This study focuses on “HOKKORISUN,” a dialogue-based activity conducted by us since 2023, examining the project implementation process of university students who lack experience in extracurricular or self-initiated activities. It explores, from the facilitator’s perspective, empowering factors that support team-based project engagement and continuity. The study examines these factors as a concrete project design process and analyzes how they influence students’ sense of satisfaction and achievement, offering practical strategies to facilitate smooth teamwork in student-led initiatives.
