The festival was scheduled for October 15th at Howdy Mall, but due to bad weather, it was postponed to November 12th. It was done in Palette Kashiwa. On the day of the event, various committee booths of the Kashiwa City International Exchange Association will hold events and exhibits to introduce international exchange activities. In addition, the Japan-Southeast Europe Economic Exchange Association will be selling Bulgarian products, and Mr. Lumbini will be holding a cross-cultural event. Food and drink sales were also held, and the event was a great success.

(2) International Exchange Week

(3) Japanese Speech Contest for Foreigners

The purpose of this contest is for foreign residents living, working, or studying in Kashiwa City to present their thoughts on living in Japan in Japanese.

The event encourages foreign residents to study Japanese, and Japanese people to deepen their understanding of foreign people.

Since 2017, we have expanded the scope of participants to include not only Kashiwa City but also the Tokatsu region.

Although we were unable to hold the 2020 conference due to the Corona disaster, we have prepared a "speech manuscript collection" for those who are scheduled to present.

We believe that the more Japanese citizens learn about the voices of foreign residents, the more they will get to know each other. We will build a "multicultural society" by accepting each other's differences in language, customs, and culture.
