The official reception of Kawasaki Junior Cultural Prize

On August 15, CLAIR Sydney accepted the kind invitation from Wollongong City Council and attended the official reception of the Kawasaki Junior Cultural Prize. This year commemorates the 30th anniversary of the Wollongong-Kawasaki City sister city relationship, and this official reception has been held every year over the past 27 years as a part of the sister city exchange activities conducted between the two cities. Four primary school students who are current recipients of the Kawasaki Junior award attended the reception as Junior Ambassadors, and received commemorative gifts from the Wollongong Lord Mayor, Cr. Gordon Bradbery AM. At the reception, students from Wollongong who are studying Japanese made speeches in Japanese to welcome the Junior Ambassadors. It was a very heartwarming reception and everyone at the reception could see the wonderful sister city relationship Wollongong and Kawasaki have created together over the past 30 years. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities between the two cities so that they can further develop their relationship.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
