What is

SWYAA

International?

SWYAA is a comprehensive naming for all the AAs (alumni associations) established by the past participants of the Ship for World Youth (SWY) program.

Each country has an association, founded with the purpose of continuing the spirit that was fostered through the SWY program. The main activities of the SWYAAs include, but are not limited to, updating contact information for members, planning and managing post-program activities such as those that contribute to society in their country, strengthening ties with Japanese Embassies and the Government of Japan, as well as supporting future participants of the program.
