A multicultural exchange event in Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City
'International Exchange Recreation Festival' to be held on Saturday, July 4
NPO International Education Support Organization Smiley Flowers (Location: Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, Representative Director: Hironobu Kubota) will hold an international exchange event, the 'International Exchange Recreation Festival,' at the Sunoko Gymnasium in Otemon, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, starting at 3:00 PM on Saturday, July 4, 2026!!
This event aims to create a space where Japanese people and foreigners can casually interact by adapting the Japanese culture of 'Sports Day' into a relaxed atmosphere. Targeting international students living in Fukuoka and Japanese people interested in international exchange, the event will foster team interaction through games like Fruit Basket, and once team bonds deepen, it will create encounters that transcend language and cultural barriers through team relay races with obstacles!!
Participants will first introduce themselves through simple games, then engage in international exchange while moving their bodies, designed to naturally encourage conversation and interaction. With the theme of 'International Exchange through Japanese Culture,' it offers a valuable experience for foreigners encountering it for the first time and an opportunity for Japanese people to deepen their understanding of different cultures.
Smiley Flowers has been creating safe and accessible spaces for international exchange, focusing on 'International Understanding' and 'Nurturing the Next Generation.' This event is part of that effort, aiming to cultivate global connections rooted in the local community.
