＜Current Issues ＞

Bullying has become a serious social problem in Japan. While resources have been established in national schools, they lack the capacities of assisting foreign children in foreign languages.

＜Taking Action＞

Through our outreach programs, we strive to realize a bully-free society.

１、We operate a multilingual forum where children and their families can disclose concerns and receive help with issues regarding bullying.

２、We share information about combating bullying to organizations and educators nationwide.
