Ideals and objectives of the Extension Center
Ideals and objectives of the Extension Center
1. To realize ‘practical utilization of knowledge,’ one of
Waseda’s three missions, through citizen education.
2. To offer lifelong learning opportunities and to return
knowledge to the community as a social contribution.
3. To contribute to the activation of the university by
bringing together a variety of students of different ages
and social backgrounds in an atmosphere of healthy
competition.

Development of the Extension Center in the aging
society era
The aging population trend and project
development at the Extension Center
Graying society
In Japan the baby boomer generation (people in their late 50s and
early 60s) reaches retirement in 2007: they are seen as a new
lifelong learning target group for the Extension Center.
10
Characteristics of the aging population
■Articulate, individualized interests
Their personal interests vary widely. In particular interest in learning is extremely high
and they might not be satisfied with‘one-way learning.’They are discriminating,
proactive consumers. General interest topics are less popular nowadays.
■Recurrent
They tend to seek reeducation as a means of sustaining their commitment to society
(reemployment). There is a high frequency of self-development through learning
activities. This group is also characterized by strong interest in activities such as
NGOs and NPOs.
■Community
They can position themselves in the learning community as lecture participants.
Post-retirement, they instinctively crave a sense of belonging, and the Waseda
brand meets this need. However, this is a weaker factor than the above two
elements, and may decrease in importance in the future.
11
Direction for development of the study abroad program
for the aging population
(1) Program for
mature students,
not for seniors
(2) Program
appropriate to the
interests of adults
language +
interest field
There is a need for programs for deep exploration of the
culture, values and social systems of a country or region,
rather than simply learning a language. This age group
will be interested in high grade study abroad programs
which meet their varied needs and study styles.
(3) High grade study
environment and care
