This year, FSC was honored to once again serve as lecturers for the Ayase City Community Club Instructor Training Seminar.
Over two intensive days, many future leaders joined to prepare for guiding junior high school students as club activities transition from school-based to community-based models. Despite the long hours, participants engaged with great enthusiasm, which was truly inspiring.
The shift of club activities into communities is a pressing social issue, with challenges ranging from instructor availability to parental burdens and student opportunities. Municipalities are beginning to separate weekend activities from schools, while exploring new formats for weekday participation.
At FSC, we continue to contribute steadily to these changes. Junior high school lasts only three years, yet the impact of club activities on values and relationships is profound. We hope that dedicated teachers can continue to share their leadership in new ways, and that all participants will play an active role in shaping the “Shin Bukatsu” (New Club Activity) model.
Thank you to everyone who joined us.
