(General)NPO Theory
(総)NPO論
Credit Bearing: 2Level: Undergraduate(学部)
To acquire the basic knowledge and techniques to understand NPO (non profit organization), widely understood as a private non-profit organization, theoretically and systematically, and to conceptualize it proactively and practically. The objectives of the course are as follows The lecture will focus on (1) the definition, organizational characteristics, and social roles of NPOs, (2) the social background that has drawn attention to and necessitated the need for NPOs, and (3) the differences between NPOs and other non-profit organizations such as community-based organizations and cooperatives. The seminar will also discuss the differences between NPOs and other non-profit organizations, such as local residents' organizations and cooperatives, and the significance and reality of collaboration with government. The participants will also be invited to share their thoughts on NPO activities and the reality of their activities. Based on such "learning," we would like to conduct a workshop (group work) in the last part of the session, in which we will assume that we are actually establishing an NPO, and to lead to a presentation (group presentation) of the results of the workshop. The workshop will lead to a presentation of the results (group presentation).(Translated by DeepL)
広く民間非営利組織として理解されるNPO(non profit organization)について、理論的・体系的に理解し、主体的・実践的に構想するための基本的知識と技法を身につけることを目的とする。①NPOの定義や組織的特徴、社会的役割、②NPOが注目され、必要とされるようになった社会的背景、③地域住民組織や協同組合など他の非営利組織との異同、④行政との協働の意義や実態などについて論じるとともに、NPO活動に携わっているアクティヴな実践家(4名)を招き、その「思い」や活動のリアリティの一端に触れていただく。こうした「学び」をふまえて、終盤では、自分たちが実際にNPO法人を設立することを想定したワークショップ(グループワーク)を行い、その成果のプレゼンテーション(グループ発表)へとつなげていきたい。
