Purpose of the Project |
Focusing on children who will lead the next generation, we aim to foster emotional richness and sensitivity of the Japanese culture through "Letter Writing Project" and its promotional and support activities.
We implement various letter writing activities in the hope that they will help nurture young generation's understanding of Chinese characters and Japanese culture, capability to articulate their own ideas, sympathy to others and interest in the society. To promote "Letter Writing Project," we conduct public relations activities, offer support to groups participating in our movement and provide leadership development opportunities
