Collaboration with Hitachiomiya City

Fieldwork with Ibaraki University and the administration (City)

gFreude DAN (community café Bahnhof) was selected for fieldwork by Hitachiomiya City and Ibaraki University.

Aging in Hitachiomiya City is a major challenge for the city; the city recognized our efforts in addressing the issue?

Exchange views with university students on changes of ageing rates of Hitachiomiya City and the creation of a society where the elderly can live an active life, while observing the actual practices and the café.

Do the group work together with the students to see if we can work together, hoping that they will have shared awareness on how to live in the ageing society, and that it provides them with a new research theme.
