Inochi Forum | Structure and Network

Structure of Inochi Forum

Inochi Forum project is operated by an Inochi Forum Council that deliberates on important matters and an Inochi Forum Executive Committee responsible for executing various activities. Under the Inochi Forum Executive Committee, there are divisions such as the Citizen Circle, Academia Circle and Youth Team.

The Citizen Circle primarily involves individuals from Japanese companies, NPOs/NGOs, government/local authorities, universities, and others who engage in discussions and actions under various themes. The Academia Circle carries out similar activities with overseas individuals, mainly led by university researchers. The Youth Team gathers young people, including university students, high school students, middle school students, and elementary school students, to raise their voices, engage in dialogue, and take action.

Furthermore, the Inochi Forum is supported in various ways by Cooperating and Supporting Organizations.
