Bring the whole family and make fantastic memories at the OWIS Osaka Spring Carnival.
The American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) is a non-profit organisation that fosters US-Japan commerce, advocates for US companies, and aims to enhance Japan’s business environment. They are implementing the Healthy Urban Gardening (HUG) project initiative at the OWIS Spring Carnival to encourage sustainable living and reduce food waste.
The ACCJ organises around 500 annual events for networking, provides insights through top speakers, engages in advocacy with government entities to strengthen economic ties, and supports local communities through charity collaborations.
The Food Bank Kansai (FBK) will be collecting donations for non-perishable goods at our Spring Carnival, so we welcome your donations.
The FBK collects surplus food from companies and households to distribute to those in need, combating food waste and supporting community welfare.
Annually, Japan generates about 5.23 million tons of food waste, while one in eight children faces food scarcity. The organization helps alleviate this by connecting excess food with those who need it, reducing disposal costs for businesses, lowering environmental impacts, and enhancing corporate social responsibility (CSR). Through these efforts, Food Bank Kansai fosters a supportive, interconnected community.
Our Spring Carnival limited-edition T-shirt is a bright and cheerful way to celebrate the occasion and show school spirit, bringing students, parents, and staff together as one community.
T-shirts will be available for purchase during the Carnival for everyone.
Enjoy traditional festival snacks, music, games, stalls and dancing with thousands of other festival goers.
OWIS Osaka runs exciting themed seasonal camps open to all students. These paid events include special guests, exciting excursions, and interactive games in an international environment.
