What is BCIO

“BRIDGE CLUB International Organization (BCIO)” was established on the 20th anniversary of APCC with an aim to further accelerate the setup of BRIDGE CLUBs (BCs) in all non-BC countries and regions and to enhance the building of networks between existing BCs. BCIO has committed to improve and vitalize BRIDGE projects and utilize the strengths of each BC and to establish active global citizens. 

What is APCC

Asian-Pacific Children’s Convention in Fukuoka (APCC) is a non-profit organization that has been conducting private-level grassroots international exchange projects based in Fukuoka since 1989.
To date, we have invited 11-year-old children from around 55 countries and regions around the world to Fukuoka, and we have also sent children from Fukuoka, Japan to the same region.
We aim to foster "Global citizens with an OMOIYARI spirit" and create a more peaceful world where the smiles of children abound and we are working under the slogan "We are the BRIDGE".
