About This Event<\/h2>\n
\n

We have often heard from people who have moved to Kusatsu Town that
\n\u201cI want to build deeper connections with others,\u201d and
\n\u201cI would love to join social gatherings if there were opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is why we started hosting the event \u201cKusatsu Onsen Ijusha Night!\u201d<\/p>\n

This time, we are taking things one step further and holding a gathering
\nwhere townspeople can come together to think about education in Kusatsu Town.<\/p>\n

This event is open not only to those who have experience raising children in Kusatsu Town,
\nbut also to anyone who wants to learn about the local educational environment
\nor hopes to be involved in education in the future.<\/p>\n

We warmly welcome everyone who wants to think together about the future of Kusatsu Town.<\/p>\n

*This is a time to share perspectives and ideas about local education and to imagine future possibilities together.
\nWe do not aim to finalize specific policies or plans\u2014our goal is simply to \u201clisten to everyone\u2019s thoughts and think together.\u201d*<\/p>\n

We look forward to your participation!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
