The Media Conte Chuo-ku 2013, the “Let’s become media reporter!” class, was held at Chuo-ku Tsukiji Social Education Center, again. Just like last year, it was part of a lifelong education supporters’ training course. The 20 students were Chuo-ku residents of ages ranging from his/her 40s to 70s. This last semester (winter semester) was the fourth semester of this course. Students tackled the challenge of creating their best and the last work under the theme “Living in Chuo-ku.”
Compared to this year’s summer semester, most of the students were skilled and comfortable enough to created their stories by collaborating with other people. By having experience of creating a story through conversations with other people, they are not creators who experience their own experience or idea, but a true “reporters” now.
