Course Summary

NPO/NGO and Social Business in Japan originate from the volunteer movement in the Hanshin-Awaji great earthquake in 1995. The situation surrounded by NPOs in Japan has been changed since then. The activities have been diversified and empowered (influential) not only in the field of disaster relief but in the field of community design, human service and new business development. Social entrepreneurs and social business, CSR, social consumption and dynamic collaboration beyond sectors have been occurred for these years.

What is in common is that these activities in public aspect have been done based on the principle of networking and making community, and the significance has been more important to solve the various social issues.

In this seminar, you will learn the current situation, challenges, significance and possibility of the activities in "social sector" with the theoretical and practical approach. Group work (project) and individual research will be proceeded in parallel. You will discuss the theme and the case in group work and will put together what you learn in a paper as a graduation thesis.
