(3) Protecting and cultivating the place of learning and exchange

Current situation and issues

(1) Enhancement of educational and learning functions at educational facilities

As the learning needs of the townspeople diversify, various social education facilities and social sports facilities are actively utilized as learning places of townspeople. However, with regard to some facilities and learning content, we are unable to respond to the diverse learning needs of townspeople, so we need to enhance the function. In addition, for educational facilities such as schools, a mechanism that can fulfill its role as an education and learning facility is required.

(2) Safe and secure exchange, learning and education

Various people such as the elderly as well as wheelchair users will visit the place of exchange and learning.
Therefore, not only barrier-free in the field of exchange / learning but also development of a place by universal design which is easy to use for everyone is required.

(3) Facility operation responding to diversification of lifestyle

Due to women's social advancement and diversification of leisure activities, various use needs are required at kindergartens, nursery schools and other facilities.
Therefore, in order to provide facilities that are easy to use to residents, it is necessary to manage flexible facilities.

(4) Promotion of juvenile sports and competitive sports

In juvenile sports, club activities and sports juvenile group activities in schools are underway. Securing and nurturing instructors for various sports events is the most important task. Also, it is hoped that each part and the sports juvenile team will collaborate.
The Niseko Town Athletic Association plays a central role in competitive sports, and various sports activities are being conducted. However, there are some organizations where the number of sports is decreasing and the activities themselves are becoming more difficult.

(5) Promotion of health sports and regional sports

Sports needs are rising, aimed at spiritual health management and leisure time spending. In order to promote health sports, besides sports guidance, cooperation with health activities and medical institutions becomes necessary.
Niseko Town conducts ski workshops taking advantage of the characteristics of the region, but it is becoming necessary to engage in such activities as summer outdoor sports.
