(3) Lifelong Learning Festivals
In 1989 the Ministry began to hold a nation-wide lifelong learning
festival with the aim of providing a great many people with an opportunity of
exchanging experiences in lifelong learning activities. The festival is intended
to help people increase their motivation for lifelong learning and to encourage
them to participate in learning activities. From 31 October through 5 November
1990, the second festival entitled "Manabipia (Learning Fair) '90" is scheduled
to be held in Kyoto Prefecture with a general theme of "New Wind - Lifelong Learning" and
with a local theme of "From Myself Today to Myself Tomorrow."
