はじめに2021年度も前年に引き続き新型コロナウイルス感染症と共に歩んだ１年間でした。
しかし、スタッフやボランティアは前年の経験から学んだことを生かすことによって、どのようにすれば安全かつ効果的に事業ができるか、お互いに知恵を出し合って試行錯誤しながら活動を進めました。その真摯に取り組む姿を見る中でかけがえのない存在を大変嬉しく、頼もしく感じました。このような一人ひとりの高い意識に支えられ、事業を無事全うできましたことを心より感謝申し上げます。これからもどんなことに遭遇しても柔軟に対応できるスキルをさらに向上させ、日本人にとっても 外国人にとっても住みよい国際のまちづくりのために寄与してまいりたいと思っております。

今回も無事に皆様のお手元にTIAレポート2021をお届けできますことを感謝申し上げますとともに、スタッフやボランティアの工夫と努力の証をお汲み取りいただき、様々な角度からご示唆いただけますならば大変幸甚に存じます。

As in the previous year, ﬁscal year 2021 was another year of coping with the strain of COVID-19. However, the staﬀand volunteers completed the projects, while always seeking safe and eﬀective ways to proceed, by sharing what
they have learnt from the previous yearʼs experiences. I was always very moved by the presence of thesevolunteers as I observed their inspiring eﬀorts. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to each and every oneof them for their high level of commitment, which has enabled us to successfully complete our projects.

I would also like us to further improve our skills in order that we can respond resiliently to any situation we may
encounter, and contribute to the creation of an international community, which is a good place for both Japaneseand foreigners to live.
Again, I am thankful that you are allowing me to share the TIA Report 2021 with you, and I would be very grateful if
you could take note of the evidence of the ingenuity and eﬀorts of our staﬀ and volunteers, and oﬀer suggestions
from a variety of perspectives.

O ano ﬁscal de 2021 também foi um ano que tivemos de conviver com o Covid-19. No entanto, os funcionários evoluntários, de acordo com o que foi aprendido com a experiência do ano anterior, tiveram de raciocinar parasaber qual o melhor método para ter uma segurança eﬁcaz nos eventos e sempre trocando idéias realizaram asatividades através do método de tentativa e erro. E me senti dignamente conﬁante pelo fato das pessoas seempenharem com sinceridade nessas atividades e se sentirem imensamente felizes por estarem vivendo esta
existência insubstituível. E tendo como alicerce o alto conhecimento de cada um, agradeço profundamente pelo
fato dos eventos terem sido cumpridos com segurança. Independentemente do que possa vir a acontecer daquipara a frente, precisaremos aperfeiçoar mais nossas técnicas para podermos agir com ﬂexibilidade e quero meempenhar em contribuir para construir uma cidade internacional onde, tanto os japoneses quanto os estrangeiros
possam viver bem.
Agradeço profundamente o fato de, desta vez também, poder entregar com segurança aos senhores a Reportagem da TIA de 2021 e ao mesmo tempo, levando em consideração a prova das habilidades e colaborações dos
funcionários e voluntários, vai ser um grande prazer receber sugestões de vários ângulos diferentes.

Major Initiatives of Fiscal Year 2021

Creating Communities or Networks where Foreign Residents Can Mutually Help One AnotherWe have worked to support the activities of foreign resident groups with the aim of creating communities
and networks where foreign residents, who sometimes ﬁnd themselves in diﬃcult situations, including
those inﬂuenced by the new coronavirus infection, can ﬁnd solutions through mutual help among theirpeers from the same country.
Activities, such as the holding of exchange events for people from Indonesia and the Philippines, provided
opportunities among the organizers and participants to strengthen networks and form new connections.

Indonesia Day @ Toyota City
Groups of volunteers from Indonesia and the Indonesian Students Association, in conjunction with theIndonesian Embassy, held an event to exchange opinions with the ambassador, and to showcase traditional textiles, dances, and music, and oﬀer visa support to Indonesians through a temporary consulate
service oﬀered at TIA.

International Exchange
Amid the continuing impact of COVID-19, we took care to prevent the spread of the infection,
and worked with the volunteers to promote exchange and mutual understanding with people
from various countries, while incorporating new forms of exchange, such as online programs.
International Day
With the goal of making people more aware of the fact that they are members of an international community,
as well as members of Toyota City, this year, we introduced the activities of the volunteer groups, held workshops, and introduced our sister-city, Detroit. In addition, a Christmas market was held as part of the “Toyota
Street Market.”Support and Cooperation for Local International Exchange Events
We cooperated in an event for elementary school students, sponsored by the city, where we gave ahands-on class on Indian-style arithmetic and a class on how to write Korean characters. Additionally, incollaboration with the city, we held an alumni exchange meeting for students that have been dispatched to
Detroit through the sister-city exchange program.

Japanese Language Classes

In order to provide opportunities for learning Japanese, we promoted the operation of classes based on the“Toyota Japanese Language Learning System” and the training of personnel to plan and conduct theclasses.
This year, in addition to a number of measures against the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we
also held online classes for those who have diﬃculty attending classes due to child-rearing or otherreasons, and held classes at community centers in close cooperation with the local residents, in order toimprove not only Japanese language skills but also the life skills of the foreign residents of Toyota City.

Toward a Society where No One is Left Behind

Along with supporting eﬀorts to strengthen communities and networks where foreign residents can help
one another, we have held mother tongue retention classes for children with ties to China and Brazil, andhave conducted classes to provide an opportunity to transmit the culture in addition to improving language
skills. In the future, we will also support mother tongue retention as an opportunity to strengthen
connections while making it an activity centered on parents and people from the respective countries.
