Purpose

The desire to organize this event came up as there was observed among students the need to discover to understand and get to know different cultures, but the impossibility to go and travel all over the places because of financial reasons. Our purpose is to be able to bring at least a small part of the culture of Spain here in our home country, to create a special event and environment and to give young people the opportunity to explore Japan, better understand the culture and get the chance to meet Japan people as well.
