ASEAN-Japan Peace Ambassador Project (AJPAP) 2025

The ASEAN-Japan Peace Ambassador Project (AJPAP) 2025 is a Japan visit youth exchange program bringing together high school students from Japan and ASEAN to explore concepts of peace through lectures, workshops, museum learning, and a temple stay. Participants engage in dialogue with experts and peers, take part in guided visits to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum, and collaborate on an artwork using origami cranes as a symbol of peace. The program aims to foster lasting personal networks and develop participants as "Peace Ambassadors" who will promote dialogue and collaboration in their regions.

Participation in expert lectures and workshops, visits to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and Museum, meditation and Zazen experiences with overnight temple stay, and participation in a collaborative artwork project.

12 high school students (3 each from Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Japan) plus 3 accompanying teachers (1 each from Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam).
