On Sunday, February 7, the 13th Miyazaki Regional Conference on Lifelong Integrated Education was held on the theme "Lifelong Integrated Education   Creating New Values -For the Children in the Future-" at the Hankyu Hall, Cultural Arts Center of Kiyotake in Miyazaki City to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Miyazaki Branch. The conference attracted 403 attendants representing all walks of life.
Miyazaki Branch chief Mrs. Hisako Yano, who has been studying the Nomura Lifelong Integrated Education since the establishment of the branch, had aspirations of passing on the values she learned through this philosophy to the next generation based on her own experience of learning about human dignity and regaining her self-respect. Concurring with Mrs. Yano's aspiration, Director General Mrs. Yumiko Kaneko affirmed the importance of the task of passing on these values to the next generation and gave her support in holding the conference.
As the branch members prepared for the conference, they became acutely aware of the reality that they tended to rely heavily on directors in charge during their preparation of conferences despite accumulating experience in already holding their regional conference 12 times previously. In the course of preparation, they learned to develop themselves to become a responsible person.
At the opening ceremony, Mrs. Chiyoko Ayabe, chairperson of steering committee stated, "With the understanding that we are the people whose consciousness and values are shaping today's society and era, at this conference we would like to reflect on what we should value and what we should attach importance to."
In tandem with the general program, activities were also organized for the Division of Infant Education, and the children who gathered from in-and-out of Miyazaki spent an enjoyable day together.
