We hold Sapporo Life Orientation for Foreign Residents in spring and fall every year.

"How can I call an ambulance?"

"What should I prepare for an earthquake?"

"I want to know what the rules are to separate the garbage!"

Helpful living information will be presented both in simple Japanese and English.

There will be time for participants to interact with each other and one-on-one consultation time after the orientation.

Although this orientation focuses especially on newcomers who have just started living in Sapporo, anyone will be welcome if you want to talk about Sapporo life with other citizens!

"Free Space for Children and Parents with International Background: Shima-Shima!" is a place and time for children and their parents to spend time freely and make friends.

On March 14th, we will hold "Mama Papa Special!"
A junior high school teacher and experienced moms and dads will share their stories and experiences.

If you are not sure what comes after an elementary school, a little worry about your child’s future, or just want to listen and learn,
please come and join us! Let’s talk in relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The session will be conducted in“Easy Japanese”basically, but English and Chinese language support will be available.
