日本では、地方都市から都市部への人口流出により、地元の都市の歴史や文化を理解し、継承する若者の数が減少しています。この問題を解決するには、地域の魅力を再発見し、地域住民に故郷に興味を持ってもらうことが必要です。そこで、この取り組みでは、地元の高齢者の方々に地元の歴史や文化の情報を伝えてもらい、地域住民自身が、よく知られているメディアであるWikipedia上で自分たちの町の情報を作成し、発信してもらうことで、子どもたちの地域への興味や意欲を刺激し、自分たちの町への愛着を育みます。 In Japan, the outflow of population from regional cities to urban areas is resulting in a decline in the number of young people who understand and preserve the history and culture of their local cities. To solve this problem, it is necessary to rediscover the charm of the region and get local residents interested in their hometowns. Therefore, this initiative will have local elderly people share information about the local history and culture, and local residents themselves will create and post information about their town on Wikipedia, a well-known medium, to stimulate children's interest and motivation in the region and foster an attachment to their town.
