　In the modern age where changes in social structures such as population decline and financial difficulties have progressed, and regional issues are becoming complex and diversified, citizens are required to participate proactively in community development more than ever before. Among them, one of the important ways citizens get involved in community development is involvement with “politics.” In this course, from the viewpoint of citizenship (citizenship), we will consider how we can participate in community development on a daily basis while building relationships with members of parliament and parliament, rather than “simply being an entity where citizens vote.”
“What kind of region (lifestyle) will we create so that everyone can live with peace of mind in the community?” In the modern age where division with others with different positions and ideas progresses, we learn new possibilities for community development where citizens proactively participate, discuss, and get involved while facing those questions.
