We held an international symposium.

At the international symposium held on May 1, 2011 (Sunday), we focused on the theme of supporting undocumented foreign residents in Asia, and welcomed guests from South Korea to share insights for future activities.
From Japan, there was a keynote speech by a lawyer specializing in special permission to stay in Japan, and presentations by newspaper reporters who covered the realities of former individuals who obtained residence status and children who were forcibly deported to the Philippines. Time was also allocated to report on APFS's disaster relief projects. The outline of the day is as follows:
