Resource rotation and regeneration of human connections, for the development of a symbiotic society. "Kids cafeterias on a regional platform"
Activity grant
- Project Description
In order to achieve resource rotation and regeneration of human connections for the development of a symbiotic society, this project aims to build awareness of unconcious wastefuleness and disposal of limited resources and build a society in which people actively care for things and one another. Furthermore, as the number of households facing severe dificulties both emotionally and financially increases year after year, the project aims to create a society in which people join forces to support each other. Additionally, the project will build a platform which functions as a mutual support system for towns to raise the welfare of people facing difficulties with daily living or who are isolated from society, such as the elderly, disabled, and youth unable to work, to allow them to function as part of society, providing them with opportunities to become involved in the community and play their part.
