To investigate environmental countermeasures, one student and one 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. During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using a type of seaweed called 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 supported securing appointments with the company. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research in Australia.

From 27 November to 2 December, we held the annual Multicultural Seminar in Sydney.
This program is designed to help municipal employees and staff from regional international associations learn firsthand about multicultural policies and advanced initiatives in Australia, with the aim of assisting in the planning and implementation of multicultural coexistence measures in Japan. The CLAIR Sydney office welcomed 13 participants from various regions of Japan. Participants visited a total of nine institutions, including government agencies such as the New South Wales Department of Education and Cumberland City, as well as schools and NGOs, to learn about their advanced policies, initiatives, and services.
Through presentations and Q&A sessions at the visited institutions, participants were able to hear directly from the staff. They gained valuable firsthand information and were impressed by Australia’s advanced multicultural services and policies.
The CLAIR Sydney office will continue to provide information on Australia’s multicultural policy initiatives to Japanese local governments through this program.
