NPO/NGO Theory

NPO・NGO論

This course is designed in an omnibus format, with guest lecturers rotating every two weeks for most of the 14 weeks, in order to emphasize the importance of communicating the actual situation on the ground. The second week will be run in a different format than the first, with a workshop format in which students will actively participate based on the first week's lectures. Therefore, students are expected to think for themselves, ask questions from various perspectives, and actively participate in the discussion, rather than simply passively listening to interesting topics. The guest lecturers will be leaders of nationally renowned NPOs, including Fusion and Ishinomaki Reconstruction Support Network have received the "Furusato Zukuri Grand Award" from the Cabinet Office.

本科目は現場の実情を伝えることを大事にするためオムニバス方式で企画され、14週の大部分はゲスト講師が2週間ごとに交替するリレー講義となる。それぞれ、日本を代表するNPOで経験を積んだ人々であり、各1週目にはNPOのミッション・経営・課題等について事例を提供いただく。2週目は、1週目の講義を踏まえて受講生が能動的に参加するワークショップ方式など、1週目とは異なる形態で運営される。したがって受講生は単に「面白そうな話を受動的に聞く」という姿勢ではなく、自分ごととして考え、多面的に疑問を持ち、積極的に発言する姿勢が求められる。ゲスト講師は全国的に有名なNPOでリーダーを務める次の方々である。フュージョンと石巻復興支援ネットワークは内閣府の「ふるさとづくり大賞」を受賞している。

(Purpose)NPOs (Not-for-Profit Organizations) play an important role in providing public services that support people's lives and in advocacy, which is different from that of governments and corporations.

The purpose of this lecture is to examine the public role of NPOs and the social support necessary for them to play an active role. (Outline) The lecture will focus on (1) understanding the overall picture and basic concepts of NPOs, (2) their role as "bearers of public and mutual aid," (3) the actual status of their activities, including collaboration with businesses and government, (4) the current status and issues of social support, including donation taxation, and (5) building social capital, with a focus on Japanese NPOs, while also incorporating results of international comparative studies. The activities of NPOs, NGOs, and social enterprises in South Korea, Taiwan, and other countries will also be briefly discussed.
