The 11th Miyazaki Regional Conference on Lifelong Integrated Education commemorating the 30th anniversary of Miyazaki Branch took place at the JA-AZM Hall on Saturday 3 December 2005.
The conference theme was "Lifelong Integrated Education: Role of Japan in the World - For the future of our children".
Since the first regional conference was held in 1975, Miyazaki Branch has convened ten regional conferences in major cities throughout the prefecture. Founding Director General Mrs. Yoshiko Nomura attended all those conferences and gave the keynote address at each. This year marking the 30th anniversary of Miyazaki Branch's establishment, the conference under a new Director General Mrs. Yumiko Kaneko holds symbolic significance as a link from the founder to the next generation.
Responding to vigorous urging by the branch members to attend, the hall was filled with some 430 participants from all walks of life, from local prefectural educational circles, politics, government and industry, mass media and students.
At the opening ceremony, Mrs. Hisako Yano, the Chair of the Conference Steering Committee, offered some opening remarks followed by the reading out of a message from Mr. Kokichi Takayama, Superintendent of Education of Miyazaki Prefecture, and a congratulatory address by Mr. Shigemitsu Tsumura, Mayor of Miyazaki City. Also present on the stage was Mr. Yasuo Naito, Superintendent of Education of the Miyazaki City.
The Children and Infant Division spent an enjoyable day holding their own program in parallel with the main conference.
Keynote Address and Q&A Session by D. G. Kaneko and four Recommendations are reported in our English organ "Nomura Center News No.39". (200 Japanese Yen/copy)
