ECIEA was inaugurated on October 31, 1993. The organisation developed out of a desire to increase contact and understanding between residents and non-Japanese visitors to Ebetsu.
Underlying our activities is a belief that "In order to build peaceful relations throughout the world, we need to understand each other better". We expect the fruit of our effort will be passed on as a heritage to future generations. To this end we would greatly appreciate your support and co-operation.
ECIEA is a democratically organised non-profit organisation which exists through membership fees and donations.
Aims of ECIEA
- To provide an insight into Japanese culture and hospitality through homestay experiences in Ebetsu.
- To improve communication through translating, interpreting and language education services.
- To create opportunities for international contact and friendship at social events.
