With gratitude
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the many supporters of TIA who enabled us to successfullycomplete our operations of fiscal year 2023.
In 2023, as the coronavirus pandemic subsided and the number of foreigners living in Toyota City increased
rapidly, we focused our efforts on activities to promote understanding of increasingly diverse cultures andactivities to strengthen the ties between people with the same culture.
In addition, events where people can enjoy face-to-face interaction have become more active. For example, the“International Day” held in October, when TIA celebrated its 35th anniversary, attracted many participants fromvarious countries. The event became a lively stage of cultural exchange.
Please take a look at some of our activities through this report, and we look forward to your continued
collaboration in expanding the circle of internationalization in the region.

Com gratidãoGostaria de expressar minha sincera gratidão às pessoas de várias áreas que nos apoiaram no ano fiscal de 2023,
e por termos conseguido concluir com segurança os eventos.
No ano fiscal de 2023, à medida que a pandemia de coronavírus chegava ao fim e o número de estrangeiros que
vivem na cidade de Toyota cresceu rapidamente, temos nos concentrado em atividades para promover acompreensão de culturas cada vez mais diversas e apoiar conexões entre as pessoas com os mesmos interesses
culturais. Além disso, eventos para desfrutar da interação pessoalmente voltaram a ficar animados, e o "DiaInternacional" realizado em outubro, que celebrou o 35º aniversário da fundação da TIA, atraiu muitos participantes de vários países e fez reviver um lugar animado para o intercâmbio.
Esperamos que tenham uma visão geral de nossas atividades através deste relatório e gostaríamos que pudessem

With the hope that children and young people will become global citizens who can proactively engage in“international exchange and understanding" and "multicultural unity”, we are working to further expand andestablish the initiatives we started last year.
It was an opportunity for the participants to think about international issues and to interact with variouscultures, and it was also a valuable opportunity for the students who planned and organized the event.

International youth forum
In September, students from Nagoya Junior College held a forum on the theme of “happiness and communication,''and in February, students from Aichi University of Education held a forum on the theme of “What we can do to eliminate
language barriers.'' Participants were able to deepen their thinking while exchanging opinions discussing in smallgroups.

Children Festival
In order to give children the opportunity to learn about the world's cultures and to respect differences, ToyotaHigashi High School planned and implemented an event in September, and Toyota Kita High School in December.
Japanese children and children with connections abroad were able to interact while having fun through games andother activities. It was also an opportunity for high school students to interact with the children and experience thecultures of various countries.

International Day/Global Citizen Culture Festival
On International Day, which was established to commemorate the founding of TIA, we carry out activities aimed
at encouraging each citizen to act with the awareness that they are a member of the international community.
This year, TIA volunteers played a central role in holding various workshops and stage presentations. In addition,
following last year, "World Food in Toyoda" was held as the “Global Citizen Culture Festival.” It was an opportunity
for various people to gather and have fun while deepening their understanding of different cultures.

Support and cooperation for local international exchange events
We supported an International Friendship Day planned by an Indonesian group with an aim to strengthen their networkand to deepen exchanges with people from other countries.
We also held a Christmas market in collaboration with the city market.

Initiatives for Multicultural Unity

Japanese Language Learning Support System
We promoted the operation of Japanese classes based on the Toyota Japanese Learning Support System and thedevelopment of human resources who plan and operate classrooms. This year, we opened a new classroom in theWakabayashi district, the fourth in the city, to expand learning opportunities. In the new classroom, we were able topromote the acquisition of Japanese through conversations and exchanges with volunteer Japanese partners, and to
make it a base for building face-to-face relationships between residents of the same area.

Activities based on the principles of the Global Citizens Council
In order to create a community where people from the same country can support and help each other, and to strengthen
networks, we supported exchange events held by foreign groups and held "My Country Day" where foreigners canintroduce their country and its culture.
