"BRIDGE Summer Camp" is a dynamic international exchange program unlike any other in the world that lasts approximately two weeks and treats the entire city of Fukuoka as one big campsite. Every summer, we invite over 200 11-year-old children as Junior Ambassadors and adult Chaperons from more than 30 countries/regions to Fukuoka. These children will take part in intercultural exchange programs such as homestay, school visit and exchange camp in order to deepen their international understanding and that of the citizens of Fukuoka who come into contact with these children.
In 2024, 164 11-year-old children's ambassadors from 33 countries and regions, 41 adult chaperones, and 21 peace ambassadors who are former children's ambassadors will gather in Fukuoka! Over the course of about two weeks, a total of 226 overseas participants will have various exchanges with Fukuoka Prefecture residents!
