本プロジェクトは、かえつ有明中・高等学校における保健室・カウンセリング機能を再編し、心と体を包括的に支える新たな場所へとリニューアルする取り組みです。 近年の中・高校生は思春期という大きく揺れる時期に加え、近年の社会環境の複雑さは、生徒の内面や日常により大きな影響を与えています。小さな違和感の段階では相談先が見えにくく、声を上げられないまま、ひとりで抱え込んでしまうケースも少なくありません。 かえつ有明中・高等学校はこれまで、「対話」を軸に、生徒と教職員が共に学び、育つ学校づくりを続けてきました。だからこそ学校として、問題が大きくなる前の段階で、誰もが安心して立ち寄れること。対話を入り口に心と体をケアし、再び日常へ戻っていけること。そうした「いつでも戻り、翔ける巣(NEST)」のような場をデザインし、校内に誕生しました。
This project reimagines the school health center and counseling facilities at Kaetsu Ariake Junior & Senior High School, transforming them into a place that provides holistic support for students' physical and emotional well-being.
Today’s adolescents navigate not only the challenges of a pivotal stage of personal development but also the increasing complexity of contemporary society, which can have a profound impact on their daily lives and mental health. In many cases, students struggle to recognize where to seek help while their concerns are still small, and end up carrying their burdens alone without reaching out.
For many years, Kaetsu Ariake Junior & Senior High School has fostered a culture centered on dialogue, where students and educators learn and grow together. Building on this philosophy, the school envisioned a place where anyone could drop in before problems become overwhelming—a place where conversations become the first step toward caring for both mind and body, enabling students to regain confidence and return to their everyday lives.
The result is NEST: a welcoming environment designed as "a place where you can always return before taking flight again." More than a health center or counseling room, NEST serves as a safe haven within the school, supporting students through moments of uncertainty and empowering them to move forward.
