To this end, ACCU has collaborated with international organizations such as UNESCO, UNESCO member states in the Asia Pacific region, public educational institutions, various industries, and local communities to foster international cooperation in education, the development of human capital, and cultural exchange. These concerted efforts, catered to local needs, have been made in the hope of contributing to, and building, a sustainable society.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"513\" height=\"510\" class=\"wp-image-28190\" style=\"width: 267px; height: 265px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unesco-school.mext.go.jp\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aboutus_02.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unesco-school.mext.go.jp\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aboutus_02.png 513w, https:\/\/www.unesco-school.mext.go.jp\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aboutus_02-300x298.png 300w, https:\/\/www.unesco-school.mext.go.jp\/schools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aboutus_02-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 513px) 100vw, 513px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In line with the above, ACCU\u2019s projects and programs focus on its three core values of \u201cappreciating and cherishing local culture\u201d, \u201ccooperative action\u201d, and \u201cmutual understanding and respect for all cultures\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Commissioned by Japan\u2019s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), ACCU has undertaken the role of secretariat for the UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet) in Japan since 2008.
