ABOUT US

We aim for world peace and coexistence through children's
international exchange.

APCC is a non-profit organization that has been conducting private-level grassroots international exchange projects based in Fukuoka since 1989.

To date, we have invited 11-year-old children from around 55 countries and regions around the world to Fukuoka, and we have also sent children from Fukuoka, Japan to the same region.

We aim to foster "Global citizens with an OMOIYARI spirit" and create a more peaceful world where the smiles of children abound and we are working under the slogan "We are the BRIDGE".
