#Japan #Tokyo #Active Life Nav #Seniors Event

Event Overview

On December 7th, we are excited to announce the Active Life Support Event titled "100-Year Active Navigator: Step into an Active Life". This initiative aims to inspire participants on how to enjoy life and cultivate purpose in the era of living to 100.

Background and Purpose

According to a government survey, about 80% of seniors wish to participate in community activities. However, only half are actually involved, mainly due to a lack of opportunities and information. To help seniors live fulfilling and vibrant lives, it is essential to create an environment that encourages social participation based on individual interests and hopes. Thus, our organization has committed to fostering an active aging society, encouraging seniors' involvement in social activities. In April, a new online platform named 100-Year Active Navigator was launched. This platform matches seniors and pre-seniors with local activities aligned with their interests, including hobbies, health initiatives, and volunteer opportunities.

This event aims to showcase various ways to enjoy life fully in the 100-year era and raise awareness about the 100-Year Active Navigator. Featuring lectures from notable figures, as well as hands-on experiences in hobbies and wellness, we encourage everyone to attend.
