The Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths Programme
(JENESYS) was launched by the Government of Japan as a result of the Second East Asia
Summit (EAS) in January 2007 during the term of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. It is a 35billion-yen
youth exchange program, inviting about 6,000 young people to Japan mainly from the
EAS member states (ASEAN, Australia, China, India, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea)
every year for five years with a view to establishing a basis of Asia’s stalwart solidarity by
expanding youth exchange. The program is expected to deepen mutual understanding among
young people who will assume important roles in the next generation in each East Asian
country. Various kinds of exchange programs including inviting and dispatching youths have
been implemented in cooperation with concerned countries and organizations.
