At the Japan-Russia Summit Meeting held in December 2016, it was determined that a “Year of Japan in Russia” and a “Year of Russia in Japan” would be held in 2018 as a part of measures to expand personal exchanges between the two countries.
As part of these activities, following a request received from the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, it was decided to conduct energy conservation courses while introducing Japanese culture to Russian children at three of the four all-Russian national children’s center locations, and ECCJ was placed in charge of implementing the activities.
ECCJ dispatched two experts, who gave an introduction to Japanese culture to 30 trainees each time, divided into groups of five or six, and held energy conservation courses lasting approximately 2 hours which included energy conservation quizzes.
This activity contributed to Japanese-Russian energy conservation exchanges.
