Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we conducted a survey of children's and young people's activities outside of school, using participant observation and interviews. The results of the analysis showed that we should guarantee the construction of relationships that are equal and respectful to each individual. The analysis revealed that an important factor in promoting community activities among children and youth is to guarantee mutual understanding and experiential learning by respecting empathy and resonance among the people involved, without bringing in existing evaluation scales.
