Engaging the Youth in Caregiving through Video Production
In an innovative initiative to highlight the appeal of the caregiving profession, a group of university students from Machida city is set to present their project at the
Active Welfare in Machida '25 event. The students, motivated by their enthusiasm for both caregiving and public relations, have created engaging videos aimed at enlightening the younger generation about potential career choices in caregiving, a field often overlooked.
About the Project
The
Machida Student Caregiving Project is designed to inspire youth to consider careers in caregiving. Their journey began with workshops focusing on the essential skills needed for effective communication and public relations in the caregiving sector. Throughout the program, students gained insights into the profession while interviewing staff members from local caregiving facilities, fostering a deeper understanding of the field.
