Join Us with Step-by-Step Global Activities in Atami
Atami Association for International Interchange |
|||
| History and Objective | |||
| The Atami Association for International Interchange, AI, was founded in 1991 amid growing demand to enhance awareness to the world among local citizens as well as promote international activities lead by the private sector. It aims at contributing to the world peace and prosperity, by nurturing international perspective and awareness among citizens and by promoting mutual understanding and friendly exchanges with people in many different countries. | |||
| It should be noted, however, that the AI took its root in 1976, when its predecessor, the “Atami Association for International Sister City Agreement” was formed to promote exchange activities with the Atami’s sister cities of San Remo (Italy) and Cascais (Portugal). | |||
| Activities -Living in the Global Community International Aid and Assistance |
|||
| It is a great joy for the AI members to collect and send goods to those who need them in developing countries. In 2007, the association donated music instruments to a Peruvian middle school, eyeglasses to people in Sri Lanka and blankets to African nations. It is also enthusiastic about raising fund to build a school in Cambodia. | |||
| Helping Neighbors who Come from Foreign Countries | |||
| It is our desire to help Atami’s residents to live happily in the community wherever they are from. We offer them opportunities to learn Japanese and meet people at various events. We are happy to have many guests with us at international party. | |||
| Exchange with International Twin Cities | |||
| Atami has international sister city and friend city agreements with San Remo (Italy; since 1976), Cascais (Portugal; since 1990) and Zhuhai (China; since 2004). The association is spirited in advancing face-to-face exchange with people in these cities. | |||
| Learning Different Cultures | |||
| To meet the members’ demand and enhance residents’ understanding of the world, the AI organizes foreign language and other courses to learn different cultures. To help nurture young global citizens, the AI sends elementary school children to international youth camp. | |||
| The AI believes it is valuable to introduce these activities widely to the public. It is thus actively involved in communication and publication. | |||
