This is “Pre-school” for children who are entering elementary schools from next April 2027 as preparation to be a student.

Families with international backgrounds are invited to come together and chat freely about parenting and everyday life.
While parents connect and share experiences, children can enjoy playing with volunteers and reading picture books.
The event also includes a picture-book reading by library staff and a visit to a local parenting support salon.

The Origami Workshop is held at the Sapporo International Communication Plaza Foundation.
Citizen volunteers teach in English and easy Japanese. Children and beginners are welcome. No reservation is required. Please come directly to the Plaza on the day.
