Japan Airlines Scholarship 2006

We are inviting those university students from Asia and Oceania who want to make acontribution to society ,care about the environmental issues and have an interest in Japan, to come to Japan.

Main Theme

What makes a truly prosperous society Co-existence And cooperation for the future of Asia and Oceania.

Aims

In this day and age where information travels across the world in an instant and events are quickly shared, we are often presented with situations that seemingly cannot be understood or dealt with in conventional manners. In response to this, there is a growing need to look towards new models of society, changing established conventions, and seeking new ideas and ways of communicating.


Each year a different theme is dealt with in the JAL Scholarship Programme. In 2004 the participants looked at what is necessary to realize a society suitable for the 21st Century by striving to be globally minded citizens able to think and act on global scale. In 2005, the participants looked at the effects of globalization, recognizing the merits and demerits of this movement, while envisioning the ideal way for it to proceed.

In 2006 the scholars will consider what "true prosperity" is, while approaching the concept by examining various realities and issues. Through the process we hope this year`s participants will realize that they individually have the power and ability to be a driving force to direct the 21st century in a positive direction. We aim to make the JAL Scholarship Programme a setting for: recognizing and accepting diversity, increasing mutual understanding, and creating friendships. Together as members of the Asia Oceania region we will consider what is necessary for, and what can be personally done to realize "truly prosperous societies".
