About This Event
We have often heard from people who have moved to Kusatsu Town that
“I want to build deeper connections with others,” and
“I would love to join social gatherings if there were opportunities.”
This is why we started hosting the event “Kusatsu Onsen Ijusha Night!”
This time, we are taking things one step further and holding a gathering
where townspeople can come together to think about education in Kusatsu Town.
This event is open not only to those who have experience raising children in Kusatsu Town,
but also to anyone who wants to learn about the local educational environment
or hopes to be involved in education in the future.
We warmly welcome everyone who wants to think together about the future of Kusatsu Town.
*This is a time to share perspectives and ideas about local education and to imagine future possibilities together.
We do not aim to finalize specific policies or plans—our goal is simply to “listen to everyone’s thoughts and think together.”*
We look forward to your participation!
