The necessity of community in modern society’s fluid and anonymous life is constantly underscored. The formation and operation of various communities, fueled by people’s demands, are evidence of this. This lecture focuses on efforts made towards forming communal childcare and care communities based on actual cases. The lecture explores the four educational philosophies of cooperative childcare: ecological education, cultural education, relational education, and integrated education. It also explains how cooperatives operate. It also introduces overseas examples such as the communal childcare project, “KARABAK,” in Bologna, Italy, and domestic instances.
