Chapter 6. Promotion of "Social Education"
3 Enrichment of Out-of-School Education for Youths
(2) Enrichment of Community Programs for Youths
Various community programs for youths are carried out by local
public bodies and other organizations concerned. The Ministry has been carrying
out "special programs for promoting the learning of young people about their
home community." These are model and pilot programs designed to meet social demands,
by which young people learn about their own communities and, upon this basis,
engage themselves in practical community activities. Other programs the Ministry
promotes are "programs for frontier adventure" in which young people are enabled
to experience self-sustaining living for a long period in the natural environment.
In addition, the Ministry is carrying out programs to promote volunteer activities
of young people.
