The project, which will be conducted for one year from last November, aims to research methods of effective cooperation between various subjects that not only help immigrant children and youths to adapt to society, but also help them grow to become leaders of the multicultural society of the future. A visitor group, consisting of Korean and Japanese field experts, government officials, scholars, and journalists, will go back and forth between Japan and Korea for activities such as visiting the field, workshops, and symposiums.
