Cooperation and collaboration with related organizations

JAPAN SPORT NETWORK

The Basic Act on Sport regards sport as a “universal human culture”, and proclaims that living a happy and prosperous life through sports is a “right of all people”. In order to realize this philosophy, we established the “JAPAN SPORT NETWORK” in July 2013 to strengthen cooperation and promote collaboration with other sports-related organizations. The JSC has concluded the “Power of Sport” Joint Declaration with 577 local governments (as of late September 2015) to strengthen our network with communities, and is keeping up efforts to develop the network.'Power of Sport' Joint Declaration: We will develop the 'JAPAN SPORT NETWORK' to bring about a happy and prosperous society through sport, based on the basic principles outlined in the Basic Act on Sport. We declare to respect the philosophy of the sports promotion lottery system, foster talents who will pave the way for a better society through the 'Power of Sport' in cooperation with each other, collaborate to realize dynamic communities and Japan, and jointly create a bright future.
