Learning about the basics of the social security system
Lecturer: Shin’ichi Yamashita
Interviewer: Katsura Takaji
In this lecture we give an overview of social insurance (medical insurance, pension insurance) and labor insurance (industrial accident compensation insurance, employment insurance), systems which differ between freelancers and company employees/public servants (employees/laborers). We also explain what kind of social security coverage is and is not available, based on conceivable cases.

Learning about the mechanisms that freelancers can utilize in emergency situations
Lecturer: Hokuto Yokoyama
Interviewer: Katsura Takaji
In this lecture we use concrete examples to explain voluntary systems designed for emergencies, including the special coverage system for industrial accident compensation insurance and the small business mutual aid program, as well as other safety nets besides social insurance and labor insurance, such as social welfare and public assistance.

Learning about required procedures and labor management when hiring
Lecturer: Hiroaki Masaki
Interviewer: Kako Yamaguchi
In addition to the many who are employed or receive order placements in the arts and culture sector, there are also many people who do the employing and placing of orders. We explain the basics of the requisite labor and social insurance procedures as well as safety management when hiring, and introduce industry-specific initiatives.

Learning about self-care for mind and body to continue with creative activities
Lecturer: Takakura Liliko, Masahiko Teshima
The mind and body are closely connected. Taking care of both the mind and body is an essential aspect of creative activity, although the characteristics and the degree of care needed can vary depending on the field. We introduce the basics of self-care for the mind and body to help sector practitioners continue their creative activities for a long time in the best mental and physical condition possible.
