About

NPO YOU-I was founded with the objective of contributing to the internationalisation and cultural/economic development of local communities within Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. We aim to create opportunities for foreign residents, including international students, to gain experience in Japanese society and to actively participate within the community. We plan and participate in various international exchange events which are focussed on learning about and enjoying different cultures, regardless of race, nationality, language, religion, etc.
