For 24 years the Australian Japan Society of Victoria has sent a group of children accompanied by a Chaperone and Assistant Chaperone/Peace Ambassador to participate in this Convention held in Fukuoka, Japan each year. It is a truly unique event that allows approximately 250 eleven-year-old children from 43 regions around the Asian Pacific rim to share in a truly international exchange.
The children and Chaperone initially stay in a camp along with all the other countries’ participants to participate in various activities, before going to stay with a Japanese host family.
Additional information on the Asian-Pacific Children's Convention in Fukuoka, Japan can be obtained from the official APCC website.
