As part of the government's initiatives to realize a community symbiotic society, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) is conducting a public relations campaign introducing a range of activities in the fields other than welfare and to give people a sense of the diversity of a community symbiotic society. Staff from Co-op Aomori, Co-op Mirai, Osaka Izumi Citizens' Co-op, and the JCCU participated in the roundtable discussion held as its initiative.

The roundtable discussion provided an opportunity to deepen mutual understanding through exchanges of opinions on each co-op's activities, such as food donations to the programs to support child poverty, scholarship programs for high school students, and creating a place that connects diverse people in the community.
