How we started:
In December 2007 and January 2008, a series of "meeting to talk
about sustainable development of projects to support residents of foreign
background" were held in order to promote multicultural coexisting society
in Tokai region. Then in the following February, the volunteers from the
meetings got together and set up a founding committee of the intermediary
organization for multicultural coexistence in order to "connect the
dot" between organizations willing to give support and those who need
them. Finally in October 2008, Resource Center for Multicultural Community
Tokai was set up as a voluntary organization after over twenty preparatory
meetings. The organization was registered as Not-for-Profit organization in
September 2009.
