Organizzatore
This project is actively working for SDGs 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), organized together with Ohara Eco Project (OEP) since 2009. There were 600 inhabitants in Ohara village with 90 houses 100 years ago, but now no inhabitant! OEP was founded in 2006 and has rehabilitated 7 houses of cultural heritage. They maintain and revive the trails and fields, organize the workcamps with NICE and run various eco tours, so got the best prize of Creating Home Town by the national government in 2016! The family B13workcamp started since 2013 (President of NICE keeps joining as a leader with his kids) and hosted a lot of families from Japan, Asia, Europe and Americas with great success.
*Outcome of this workcamp: In 2025, 10 vols. from 3 families greatly contributed to weed in the tea field, cleaned the village road, etc. See the presentation made by the volunteer for the IVS contest in Japan- https://www.slideshare.net/nice-workcamp/e5-55193721 (only in Japanese though).
