 How to participate in the Asian-Pacific Children's Conference in Fukuoka

 

 Mid-September to early November

APCC Wing Kids Program 9th batch  *Recruitment for the 9th Wing Kids class has ended!

This is a program to develop "Japanese Children's Ambassadors" who can proudly and confidently introduce Japanese culture, industry, local history, etc. to people overseas. The seventh batch is currently in progress.

 

Spring: late October to early December　

APCC Spring Dispatch Program 2017*Applications for this year's spring program have now closed!

This is a program in which children from Fukuoka travel to various parts of the Asia-Pacific region during spring break to experience homestays and cultural exchange in different cultures.

We are looking for members from 4th grade elementary school to 3rd grade junior high school, and high school leaders who want to learn about the culture and lifestyle of a country through a homestay abroad. (Maximum of 15 people per country)

We are also looking for volunteers to supervise the children. Many volunteers continue to participate because they get to see the changes and growth of the children up close.

January to mid-February

29th APCC Host Family Recruitment　

*Application period is from Friday, January 13, 2017 to Wednesday, February 15, 2017 (first deadline) and Tuesday, February 28, 2017 (second deadline).                                                                                                       

Enjoy international exchange at home♪

We are looking for motivated host families who are willing to welcome 11-year-old "child ambassadors" from all over the Asia-Pacific region into their homes as members of the family and take on the challenge of intercultural exchange!

For all those families who would like to experience foreign cultures and introduce Japan to their children from other countries, why not become a "bridge between the world"?

When accepting a Junior Ambassador, priority will be given to families with children (elementary school children around 11 years old) who can share their meals and sleeping quarters during the homestay period. *Families without children can also accept adult chaperones and young people.

 

All year round (anytime!!)
