For many years, educators voiced their desire to the former Mie International Education Association
(MIEA) for the establishment of a resource room or center in Mie where they could go and access resources and materials regarding multicultural education. When MIEA merged with MIEF in 2004, formal discussions began on ways to create such a center, and three years later on June 2, 2007, "MIIKU"(みーく）International Education Center officially opened. It is currently housed in MIEF's office and has books and teaching materials related to multicultural education, Japanese language education as well as original resources created by educators in the field. All materials in MI-KU can be freely borrowed for a set period. For more details, please contact MIEF at 059-223-5006.
