In order to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus, elementary and junior high schools throughout Hokkaido have been closed for about a week. Consequently, children's centers (including mini-centers) in Sapporo have also been closed.
We have received reports from working parents that they have no options for childcare.
Please cooperate with our case study to understand the current situation.
Target audience: Individuals affected by the closure of elementary and junior high schools, or those who know teachers or staff members affected by the closure.
(Working hours and gender are not considered.)

In light of the recent spread of COVID-3 infections within Hokkaido, and with the safety of participants in mind, we have decided to postpone the Hokkaido Diversity Research Environment Promotion Network (KNIT) Kick-off Symposium, "Innovation Woven from Diversity," which was scheduled to be held on Tuesday, March 3rd.
The rescheduled date is yet to be determined, but we are currently making arrangements to hold it next year.
We will announce the date and time, etc., on our website or via this email newsletter once they are decided.
Thank you for your understanding.
