The JAL Foundation, a cultural arm of Japan
Airlines, will hold the 43rd JAL Scholarship Program in Japan for
19 university undergraduates from ten countries and regions across
Asia from 27 June to 17 July 2012.
The 21-day program includes a wide variety of
activities such as lectures in Tokyo, the Asia Forum in Kanazawa,
Ishikawa Prefecture, and a field trip to Iwate in North East Japan
that is jointly organized with East Japan Railway Culture
Foundation.
The scholarship students will have
opportunity to interact with their Japanese peers and together
discuss and present their ideas around the year's theme of
"Proposals from the Youth to Bring Back a Vibrant Japan".
Through
a home-stay segment in the program which will be hosted by
families of past and present JAL Group employees, the overseas students will also have the chance to enhance their understanding
of the Japanese culture.
The JAL Scholarship
Program has hosted a total of 1,452 students since it began in
1975, launched by then-President of Japan Airlines, Shizuo Asada,
as an introduction to Japan for university students from Asia and
Oceania, and with the objective of encouraging youths from the
regions to develop better international relations.
Since 1990 the
JAL Foundation has organized the annual event, which has evolved
in scope and content over the years. Numerous graduates from the
program have gone on to become key members of society, playing
important roles in their countries.
