An Event was held in Minami-Soma!
For 2 days, on Nov. 16 and 17, “Encounter with Art in Minami-Soma” was held at the Lifelong Learning Center in Fukushima-ken, Minami-Soma-shi, Haramachi.
Students of the Carving and Modeling course and Western Style Painting course used their skills to carry out different kinds of workshops. The weather was beautiful and many families came to have fun. The children carved wood or piled stones and did some serious artwork. Seeing the children who proudly showed off the accessories and objet d’art that they had made, the students were glad they had held the event and seemed to have enjoyed it, too.
It was an event in which the students reaffirmed their confidence in the fact that there are things they can do through the art they are studying. (Akagi)
Disaster Prevention Team organized Disaster Prevention Game at Takahagi Industrial Recovery Festival
On Nov. 16, 17, the Disaster Prevention Team participated in the Takahagi Industrial Recovery Festival held in Takahagi-shi, Ibaraki Prefecture, and organized a disaster prevention game on a slope.
By conducting the game on a slope that would be the evacuation route at a time of an earthquake, it would increase the sense of awareness for disaster prevention.
At the signal to start, the participants climbed the slope, and at 2 points on the slope scattered were small articles from which they had to pick up goods necessary for evacuation and run up to the goal. Adults and children both carefully chose the disaster prevention goods and energetically ran up the slope. A disaster prevention map of the Takahagi station area created by the disaster prevention team was also handed out to the participants in preparation for a disaster. The booklet will be distributed by Takahagi City Office as a support item for the citizens to help themselves in case of a disaster. (Iida)
