Popis: The purpose of this paper is to present the problem of school space, which has been designed as a place of education, and to reconsider it as a symbol of the local community. Currently, school consolidation is increasing rapidly in Japan due to the declining birthrate and financial problems. Such a situation not only leads to the loss of learning opportunities, but also to the deprivation of opportunities for interaction between local residents and encounters between adults and children. While many discussions on the educational effects of school consolidation have been covered in previous studies, the significance of retaining schools by compounding has not been discussed much. School compounding means incorporating non-school facilities into school facilities. Therefore, in this paper, we will consider what kind of methods can be considered to create a diverse learning space, through the seminar on the theme of school compound held in 2019. From the interview research, it is pointed out that creating a democratic space in school requires the intervention, encounters and events of not only students but also various other people.
