The United Kingdom has historically accepted a large number of migrants and based on the idea of multiculturalism, government, local communities, NGOs, etc. are each developing various measures. We believe that these diverse examples of initiatives in the UK will serve as a great reference for local governments in Japan.
Therefore, from 2023, CLAIR will hold a UK Multicultural Communities Policy Exchange Programme, in order to provide Japanese local government officials and staff of regional international associations with opportunities to learn about British multicultural community policies.
In this programme, through visits and inspections of organisations where various measures are being promoted for coexistence and exchanges of opinions among participants, visitors will learn about multicultural community policies and specific initiatives in the UK and apply that knowledge to multicultural society in Japan. We aim to make use of it in the planning and development of coexistence measures.
Implementation guidelines, application method, etc.
Implementation guidelines and application methods for 2023 will be announced on the CLAIR Tokyo Headquarters website when recruitment begins in April 2023.
