This society is a joint project of Shibuya City Office and Tokyo City University. Under the theme of "Creating the Future of Welfare in Shibuya," the University took the initiative in establishing the Shibuya Welfare Society in February 2018. The university serves as a platform for people interested in welfare, including Shibuya City residents, welfare office staffs, users, Shibuya City Office staff, and students, to gather and think together about the realization of seamless support.
The Shibuya Welfare Society is a place for welfare offices, users, professionals, and students to exchange information, provide knowledge, and learn from each other, considering the future of welfare in Shibuya from various fields such as engineering and human science of this university. The needs of welfare are changing year by year, and in order to provide support accordingly and to realize seamless support so that users can live their own lives in the community, it is necessary to have a place to learn from each other, and its continuation is of great significance. In light of the above, by collaborating with Shibuya City and continuing the Shibuya Welfare Society, we aim to (1) clarify the issues facing welfare in Shibuya Ward and solve the problems of welfare in the future city, and (2) contribute to the community by providing our expertise and collaborating students to welfare activities.

The program was designed to combine keynote speeches, symposiums, and project reports (activity reports) and research presentations, depending on the theme of the year. The first conference was held at the University's Shibuya Satellite Classroom and attracted a small number of participants (65). The second conference, however, was held in the main assembly room of the Shibuya City Office and attracted approximately 120 participants, and the third and fourth conferences attracted approximately 200 participants including online participants. Gradually, the number of participants has increased, and the conference has become a place not only for Shibuya City residents and welfare service providers, but also for the university's students to learn about welfare.
