The Japan Research Institute, Ltd.
(head office: 16 Ichibancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Shunichi
Okuyama; hereafter "JRI") is honored to present "JRI Active Seniors'
Academy Open Seminar," a community service project co-sponsored by
Chiyoda Ward (1-6-11 Kudanminami, Chiyoda-ku; ward mayor: Masami Ishikawa).
Organized for seniors aged 50 and above who are residing or working
in Chiyoda-ku, the program is committed to providing significant information
to members of the mature age group who, having made their mark in
their respective fields, are now seeking quality senior living.
*An active senior is defined as a new-generation senior who rejects
the notion of retirement age as retirement from life, is enthusiastic
about work and hobbies, and is actively involved in the society. An
active senior believes in lifetime productivity and possesses a wealth
of experience and superior value judgment.
1. About the Seminar
As communities face a number of challenges in the era of falling birth
rate and aging population, active seniors are being looked upon as
important players because of their wealth of social and life experiences
and availability in terms of time. Through "JRI Active Seniors' Academy
Open Seminar," we will provide information that will enhance the interest
of active seniors in community activities, thereby making them become
fully involved in community problem-solving. Starting in April, a
total of twelve sessions will be held once a month for a period of
one year. The sessions will cover topics of direct concern to all
participants, such as the decrease in birth rate and the aging of
the population, the environment, the stimulation of the local economy,
and disaster prevention.
