What sort of multicultural society can we create in the near future by continuous action?

The Japan Foundation Prizes for Global Citizenship support organizations throughout Japan that conduct international cultural exchange activities. In fiscal 2017, three organizations were selected as recipients. Shibazono Danchi Neighborhood Association in the city of Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture focuses on exchange between Japanese residents and foreign residents. Nagomi Visit provides a service that matches foreign travelers with ordinary Japanese families who invite the travelers to their homes to share a meal. Koganecho Area Management Center has promoted community development through art in the Hatsunecho-Koganecho and Hinodecho area where illegal shops once lined the streets. Today, when the living environment has changed and multicultural coexistence is applauded, what kind of awareness of issues do these organizations have and what kinds of daily actions do they take? We talked to four key people involved in the operation of each organization.
