As a stable platform to pass on the World Uchinā Network, stretching both globally and domestically to the next generation, we have decided on the establishment of the “World Uchinā Network Concierge” (Here in after referred to as Concierge), and are making preparations for a start date of April 2021. 

The main function of the Concierge, in addition to handling the acceptance of participants for the Okinawan Emigrants' Descendent and Asian Scholarship Program, with the interactions with alumni of the program as its base, is to strengthen human networks between Okinawa and the world. Currently, there are only limited opportunities such as the World Uchinā Festival for the people of Okinawa to interact with those who are a part of the World Uchinā Network around the world. With this initiative, we plan to actively use SNS and hold online exchange events, and revitalize daily exchanges between Okinawa and overseas/domestic Uchinā Network members.

The Concierge, through various initiatives, while bringing together members of the World Uchinā Network, we will make every effort for this to be a platform everyone will want to visit when they are in Okinawa, so please try and actively make use of it.
