Introduction of the organizer

We are three women who met at the Space Yuu. We have been making the best use of our specialties to promote gender equality in Kita City and to establish this town project. Kita City has a lot of aged, people with disabilities and foreign people . We aim to make opportunities to meet each other and to be a town that is culturally diverse but it is integrated too.
