PURPOSE

Japan is sometimes referred to as a country with advanced social issues. On the other hand, people outside of Japan often ask, "Does Japan have social issues?" There are indeed various social issues as well as innovative approaches to address these challenges in Japan. World in You thinks it is a lost opportunity that these are not known and connected globally.

World in You aims to bridge the gap by supporting the international expansion of mission-driven organizations with global partnerships, fundraising, research, and consulting. Connecting locally impactful players at the global level can accelerate their important works to better the world.

Our support starts with holistically understanding our clients’ goals and needs. This process helps us work as part of your team to proactively identify and connect with global partners.
3. Cross-cultural communication
Meaningful global partnerships require careful contextual, cultural, and language interpretation rather than merely connecting players or information in different countries. We explore effective ways to communicate across differences together with our clients.
