Otsuki Town in Kochi Prefecture, where we live, is blessed by the abundance of nature and wonderful people, making it a place where children can thrive. However, as local industry wanes, the birthrate declines, and the population ages, even Otsuki Elementary School expects to see a decline of 100 pupils by 2019, ten years after the 2009 consolidation. In order to break through this critical impasse, the school, families, region, and government must work together to create a new vision for Otsuki Town.
