The vision of RCE Hokkaido Central is to realise a sustainable regional society toward the next 100 years by learning the history of developing Hokkaido, from the past 150 years. Under the vision, we will provide opportunities for stakeholders to share and gather their knowledge of ESD for a sustainable society in Central Hokkaido.

- For various stakeholders in fields and sectors to share issues and advantages in Central Hokkaido and to collaborate naturally along our visions
