For members with an interest in Japan or intercultural communication in Asia, there is a new Intercultural Institute based in Tokyo which focuses on intercultural training for language teachers, developing intercultural education materials, and intercultural training for business.

The Japan Intercultural Institute works with universities, academic associations (including SIETAR Japan), and publishers to offer seminars and do materials development. If you are interested in being on their mailing list, sign up at www.japanintercultural.org.
