Lifelong Learning Rooted in the Community
Launched in September 2006, Shibuya University is not a regular educational institution awarding degrees. It features a collection of public lectures, courses, and other educational offerings made available free of charge. Anyone can participate in this university, and there is no graduation from it. Although originally conceived as a municipal project, it began operating in the private sector as a nonprofit organization. Its president is Sakyo Yasuaki, a former trading company employee.
With the concept of "creating Japan's future from Shibuya," this project is looking to provide a new type of community-based lifelong education targeting a wide range of people from children to adults. Shibuya is a center of fashion shops, chic restaurants, theaters, and live music venues, and it also has many educational institutions, parks, and other public facilities. Shibuya University views all such places as classrooms where educational courses can be offered.
The teachers at the university are a diverse bunch, including music critics, cartoonists, lighting designers, and art directors. In its public recruitment of instructors, the school adopts the unique stance of making no firm distinction between those who can be teachers and those who make up the student body.

The Joy of Learning
Already various courses have started, and they all provide unique learning experiences that cannot be gained in an ordinary college or university. In a course on "the spirit of chopsticks," the proprietor of a shop selling chopsticks teaches students about the dietary culture that has evolved from the use of this tableware. In another course on new ways of appreciating movies, a volunteer working with the visually impaired suggests to students that they experiment with listening to movies. The classrooms are also varied. They may be a record shop, a bookstore, a restaurant, or a room in an elementary school.
With its debut on the educational stage, Shibuya University Network has caused quite a stir. Hopes are high that it may provide just what is needed to instill the joy of learning in modern youth.
The university wants to offer much more than public lecture courses. It intends to take classes into elementary and middle schools, organize school festivals, and support seminars and club activities voluntarily arranged by students. Enlisting the collaboration of local eating establishments, it also plans to set up a student cafeteria of sorts. Functioning as the "simulacrum of the university," it hopes to forge links between individuals using Shibuya as a stage and to give birth to new creations.
In an interview published on the Internet, President Sakyo offers this comment: "Constructing splendid school buildings and erecting multistory structures aren't the only ways to breathe life into the community. I want the facilities and people of our school to exist in symbiosis with the community."
與其說這是學校，我覺得它更像一個意識型態。
用整個城市的每一個角落去培育下一代，灌輸終生學習的精神。
不知道這劇會不會有特別版？！真想看看nodame和千秋學長同台演出~
明報記者拍到我~
從我家車房看出去的雪景
mono comme ca 是每次遊日必逛，手袋銀包鎖匙扣電話繩飾物鏈小擺設筆杯鏡設計都很合我的心水，而且價錢一點也不貴，這個橙紅色銀包6900yen，間格實用，一見鍾情。
身邊的人不是pda就是萬能電話手提電腦blackberry，我還是最愛手寫日程表。前兩天和朋友談起，大家不約而同都是手寫一族，數著數著，手寫agenda的確有不少好處，不會無電，唔駛sync，唔係好貴唔見左唔會勁肉痛（買LV者例外）。到了年尾，揭揭揭睇返一整年的日程，會有一種"我又完成了一年，真好"的莫名滿足感，會想對自己說聲"otsukare"。然後又是新一年，懷著期待的心情上街買本新Agenda，怎樣的封面設計，內頁排版，大小呎寸，質地牌子，慢慢逐本看，為自己好好挑一本Agenda也是一種樂趣。
化妝品小包包，女仔必備，亦係mono comme ca出品，1000 yen。
讓莫國王做模特兒~
很好笑吧~~
