WEBINAR | The Role of Civil Society in Japan’s Evolving Multicultural Landscape: Japan’s Immigration Politics and Policy - Roles of Japanese NGOs in Refugee Assistance

JCIE USA is excited to share the second event in our two-part webinar series, which highlights the role of Japanese nonprofit, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in addressing challenges facing foreign residents and promoting peaceful “multicultural coexistence” (tabunka kyosei). The second webinar, “Japan’s Immigration Politics and Policy – Roles of Japanese NGOs in Refugee Assistance,” will feature the perspectives of experts on Japan’s immigration policy from the two countries, and also highlight the work of Japanese NGOs that specialize in refugee assistance services. It builds upon the first webinar, “Supporting Youth with Foreign Roots in Japan,” which addresses education and employment support for children and youth with foreign roots. The event will promote solution-oriented dialogues between representatives of Japanese NGOs and experts from the United States and Japan on immigration policy and identify effective approaches and lessons learned to successfully integrate foreign residents into society.
