WEBINAR | The Role of Civil Society in Japan’s Evolving Multicultural Landscape: Supporting Youth with Foreign Roots in Japan

JCIE USA is pleased to announce the first event in a two-part webinar series that will highlight the role of Japanese nonprofit, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in addressing challenges facing foreign residents and promoting “multicultural coexistence” (tabunka kyosei). The first webinar, “Supporting Youth with Foreign Roots in Japan,” will address one of the most pressing challenges facing foreign residents in Japan—education and employment support for children and youth with foreign roots—from the perspectives of Japanese NGOs, highlighting their experiences, approaches, and lessons learned. 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.
