Since 1966, we have been accepting children of Overseas Fukuoka Kenjinkai members as international students for one year to have them acquire specialized knowledge and skills at universities and vocational schools in the prefecture, and at the same time to deepen their understanding of Fukuoka's traditions, culture, industry, economy, etc. So far we have accepted more than 400 international students, and the returning students utilize the knowledge and skills they have learned to play a positive role in their respective countries, as well as participating in the activities of the Kenjinkai and contributing to exchange with Fukuoka Prefecture.

After returning to their countries, we hope that they will contribute to the development of the Nikkeijin society in the emigrant countries and friendly exchange between Fukuoka Prefecture and the countries, and play an active role as a bridge of friendship with the prefecture.
