Manabi's (Learning) Future Creation Project (Cooperation with Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture)

Nikon Nisso Prime concluded a comprehensive partnership agreement with Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture in March 2022, and in April 2022, Genichiro Ishii was dispatched as an advisor to Tsuru City's "Manabi's (Learning) Future Creation Project".
Drawing on his experience as the Education Section Manager of Nikon's Human Resources Development Department, which is in charge of employee training, Mr. Ishii serves as a leader in educational projects centered on "inquiry-based learning", which fosters children's ability to learn and think for themselves. As one of the results of these efforts, the Tsuru Manabi Future Creation Promotion Organization, a general incorporated association that operates the "Tankyu Manabi-ba・Tsuru Labo" has been established, where he serves as a Director.

Ability to learn and think for oneself

This organization not only holds "Tsuru Labo" for elementary school students, but also holds many one-off events. The organization plans a wide range of events such as camping, craft experiences, and programming courses that takes advantage of the nature of Tsuru City, and provides a place to foster the intellectual curiosity, consensus-building ability, and expressive skills of children. The organization has also established a research team to measure the effectiveness of inquiry-based learning through a partnership agreement with Tsuru University, in addition to seminars and lectures for children and educators, as well as film screenings for parents, and is disseminating a culture of "growing together" throughout the community.
