Global Partnerships Programs

With the mission to "cultivating friendship and ties between Japan and the world," we are working on each of our projects to realize the following three visions, with an emphasis on the formation of human networks, next-generation’s capacity building and the international encounters of people through international dialogue, collaboration, and exchange.
