In 2025, JANM’s Discover Nikkei project celebrated twenty years of sharing stories about the Nikkei, people of Japanese descent who have migrated and settled throughout the world. Highlights from Discover Nikkei’s twentieth anniversary included Discover Nikkei Fest and Nikkei Family 2: Remembering Roots, Leaving Legacies. Discover Nikkei also traveled to the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre in British Columbia, Canada, for the international program, Routes of Remembrance: A Discussion of the Tomoshibi Journey Bus Tour to Sites of Japanese Canadian Confinement.
Now Discover Nikkei is planning its next phase and wants you to be a part of it! Discover Nikkei connects generations and communities through its archive of Nikkei stories, life history videos, and in-person and virtual programs. Discover Nikkei’s content is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese.
When you take its five-minute survey, your responses will help the Discover Nikkei team tell Nikkei stories, develop exciting programs, upgrade the site, participate in outreach efforts, and more well into the future. The survey is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese. Fill out the survey by Sunday, March 15, 2026, and make your voice heard!
