High school student exchange program

line
The Teenage Ambassadors Program is an exchange program in which high school students from Japan and other countries visit each other’s countries and strengthen international mutual understanding and friendship. Young people of the same generation yet with differing cultures, traditions and lifestyles, interact via three activities: Ambassador Activity, Exchange Activity, and History & Culture Activity. This program has been held annually since 1990, with a cumulative total of 18 countries including Japan and 2,810 participants. In 2019, which marked the thirtieth anniversary of the Foundation's establishment, a commemorative event was held. The program was attended by a large number of participants, including former Teenage Ambassadors, and provided opportunities for reflection on the program's progress over the last thirty years, as well as for the broadening of inter-generational circles of friendship.
