JICEF promotes cultural exchange and understanding of different races and nations. Our objective is to achieve peace around the world by sending people abroad and inviting people to Japan. JICEF especially focuses on the fields of learning, culture and education. Thus, JICEF subsidizes the exchange of researchers, educators, and artists between Japan and foreign countries.  In 2005, the number of educators sent to foreign countries was 102 and the number of guests invited was 73.

We hold cultural lectures and symposia several times a year that contribute to the exchange of cultural activities with various foreign countries, as well as improving mutual understanding and friendship.

We have held world congress four times to date, covering themes such as health, culture and environment.


This contest was held for the first time in 1980. Since then, it has been hosted every two to four years. We held the 12th music contest in January 13th 2008. We believe that this contest will make increase Japanese peoples' interest and understanding for foreign students. We also hope this contest will promote international cultural exchange.

We hold lectures to enhance cultural mutual understanding everywhere in Japan.

We visit the UK with group members of HRM (Humanity revival Movement) as a joint venture to initiate cultural exchange events, such as home parties or high school workshops..

We publish IMJ (International Medical Journal), annual reports, books etc..
