| INTRODUCTION | As the world’s first public UNESCO group, our history reaches back 73 years, with the previous 6 years as a public interest foundation. Our main activities include the promotion of UNESCO world heritage locations, the World Terakoya Movement (literacy education support), passing on future regional heritage, and SDGs (creating a sustainable society). In solid terms we hold UNESCO college lectures and Public UNESCO Activities Day, as well as SALON& ZOOM meetings jointly online. We also plan to hold the 24th Children’s Drawing Competition from January 16 to 21. We also conduct Chinese language lectures on Saturdays 3 times per month. Furthermore, in FY 2022 we established the Tungaru UNESCO Association in the Republic of Kiribati. |
| PR | As we were unable to participate in activities due to the pandemic, but from August we have been conducting “Salon and Zoom”online events.
