Here is the report of the local meeting held at Hisanohama, Iwaki, by
our lead Ryoko Ando and some volunteers.

I translated it to English below and please see both at once.

18 Dec Event report at Hisanohama Daiichi elementary school

I held community meeting, joining Xmas event held at Iwaki Hisanohama
Daiichi elementary school on 18 Dec. The contents were; 1st, playing
picture-story show about radioactivity; 2nd, putting a video on
screen; finally, having conversation.
I did it twice, and on the second time, I skipped the video.
(translate annotation:
the picture-story can look here:

and the video is the record of local radiation understanding meeting
held on Sep.)

Hisanohama were designated as the sheltering area at the early stage
of accident.
So the school were closed for a period of time, but it decontaminated
and reopened on 11 Oct.
The classroom that used as a meeting room marked less than 0.1uSv/h.

(Photo) First meeting, joined 20 or less people.
Some elder people were also joined.

But elder people seemed that they could not catch up, (maybe they
could not accept the terms itself) so they leaved soon after starting
the video.
At the meeting, some people told "deep" in their self introduction at
first, but their reactions were weak on the video.
I suppose the weak reaction come from the gap between severe reality
shown on their self-introduction and scientific knowledge. (If there
were lecturer on the meeting, the result would be different, but with
only a video, it showed only some "knowledge".)

(Photo) So I wind up the video and introduced the slides on the screen
that translated by volunteer members; "Rehabilitation of Living
Conditions After a Nuclear Accident Lessons From Chernobyl".
(translate annotation; here are your slides! :)
This could catch a lot of attention. Some people bring back the
provided printout.

(Photo) opinions in the meeting
"I don't understand many units and terms"
"Discrimination voices from outer area; "
 (In Iwaki city)
  to refugees; "cumbersome" "rich" "unpleasant look in their eyes"
 (from outer prefecture)
  told that not to say from Fukushima, buggage sent were disposed,
painted "Don't come from Iwaki" on their cars
"Just want to live as usual; So I need a chance for that"
"People outside see our land as disgraced, uninhabitable"
"How much is the radiation?"
"Is it safe to eat?"
"It marks about 0.3-0.8uSv/h, 2mSv for a year, very worrying"
" "Do not send things from Iwaki"… I am afraid that children are safe or not"
"I want to build their hometown for my grandchildren, but I can not call them"
"I want to make a future, so I want to understand"
"I want to live in my familiar Hisanohama without any anxiety, working
in the fields.
 Are there any radiation from before?"
 "Take me back my hometown"
 "I want information, not worrying too much and not being too
optimistic, want to balance them"

Some people showed positive opinions, and some were not.
ETHOS introductions seemed very resonated for positive people against
their reality.

At the second time, I skipped the video and played picture-story and
had conversation. There were people from Iwaki and volunteer members
from outer prefecture, half and half, totally about 10.

Personally I felt differnce of awareness between outer people and local people.
Outer people told generaly and local people told concretely.
The cross-purposed opinions had an effect to show them clearly, but I
felt the serious difficulty.
Now I am going to transcribe the conversation to text and show them.

久之浜レポートに対するJacquesの返事

先日の久之浜レポートを翻訳してJacquesに送ったところ、以下のように返信頂きました。

Sorry not to have responded to you earlier. I have been quite busy during the Christmas time with the family.
I read with interest the report of the local meeting by Ms Ando.

It is always difficult to have meetings with people from affected areas if these meetings are not focused on concrete actions that they can implement to improve their situation. Trying to pass basic knowledge about radiation to people who have not heard any thing about radiation before (and particularly to elderly people) is a challenge. My experience is that it is generally counterproductive. People feel discouraged in front of what is perceived as very complex and the result is that they are more discouraged and frustrated than before. They generally come to such meeting full of hope to learn what is important or not, what to do and how to behave, and they get out disappointed. At the beginning of the Ethos projects we organized a few of such meetings and we realized quite rapidly that they were useless. This is the reason that pushed us to embark the people in some concrete actions like measurements of ambient dose rates for example. Then based on the results in their home we started to discuss about their concerns and this generally lead us to initiate concrete projects with the help of the people.

The opinions you have translated are quite informative. They are very similar to those we heard 20 years ago in the villages of Belarus when we started the Ethos Project. They reflect quite well the aspiration of the people. They want to live in the place they used to live before with enough knowledge to take care about the new situation but without being too worry about it. This can only be achieved by developing the so-called practical radiation protection culture that emerged from the Ethos approach.

以下、仮翻訳です。

早くお返事できず申し訳ありません。クリスマスは家族と忙しく過ごしていました。
安東さんの地域集会のレポートを興味深く読みました。

具体的な状況改善への取り組みが伴わない場合、被害地域の住民と集会を開くことは、常に難しいものです。今まで全く放射線のことを聞いたことも無い人々（特に年配の方）に対して、基本的な放射線に対する知識を伝えることは難題ですし、私の経験では、たいてい非生産的です。とても複雑なことと向き合っているように感じることで、人々は失望し、逆に以前より苛立ちを募らせることになります。人々はたいてい、何が重要で、何をすべきか、どのように行動すべきかを求めて集会に参加するので、（訳注：知識のみを伝える集会には）失望してしまいます。ETHOSプロジェクトの最初期に、私たちは数度そのような集会を開き、すぐにそれが無意味なことに気がつきました。この経験から、私たちは活動に当たり、人々に具体的な行動、例えば周辺の線量率の測定を行ってもらうようになりました。この地元での行動の結果をもとに、心配事について話し合いを行うことで、たいていの場合は具体的な人々への助けになるような活動を始めることができました。

あなたが翻訳してくれた意見の数々は、とても参考になります。私たちがETHOSプロジェクトを開始した20年前にベラルーシの村々で耳にしたものとよく似ていて、人々が望んでいることをとても良く反映しています。人々は住み慣れた地で、新しい状況に対し注意する為の知識を十分に持ち、同時に心配をし過ぎること無く、暮らしたいと思っています。これは、ETHOSアプローチによる、いわゆる実用的放射線防護文化を育てることでこそ実現できます。

企画告知 「放射能ってコワイ？怖くない？どーでもいい？」

12/18（日）　久ノ浜第一小学校を会場に開かれる、クリスマスイベント内、教室を１ブース分お借りして、放射能についてお喋りしましょう、という企画を実施いたします。


（クリスマスイベント自体は、小学校全体を会場にしたもので、13:00～19:00。

クリスマスイベントの内容はこちらをご覧下さい（PDF）

自転車発電によるクリスマスイルミネーション点灯等がメインイベントとして行われるそうです。
北いわき再生発展プロジェクトチーム　と埼玉大学の学生さん、近藤組（キャンドルジュンさん等）の共催とのこと。
私たちの企画は、イベントの一画に間借りさせていただくかたちです。）

チラシ内イラスト、京都女子大学水野義之ゼミの学生さん作成のものを、使わせていただいています。

紙芝居も、同じく、水野ゼミ学生さんが作られた物を使わせていただきます。

ご協力に心から感謝いたします。

あくまで、現地の方のための企画ですので、参加は、現地の方優先にさせていただきます。

経過については、ネット上でもご報告させていただくつもりでいます。
