Ofunato Machimori University 4th Machimorigaku "Thinking of Machimoribito – Steps toward Community Development that Can Be Aware of and Support Diversity"

〇Purpose In order for Ofunato City to be a city where people want to live and come back, it is necessary to learn about and think about sexual diversity from the perspective of LGBTQ and SOGI. Listening to Mameta Endo, who is working to support LGBTQ children and young people based on her own experience as a transgender, deepening her thoughts through group work will help her understand the current situation surrounding sexual minorities, and what can be done about it. This will be an opportunity for us to think about how we can make the city a better place for everyone to live.
