The Ship for World Youth (SWY) is an international youth exchange programme.
The programme aims to build strong links among the youth from Japan and other nations. Approximately 120 youth from Japan and 140 youth from 13 other nations live together onboard a ship to discuss common issues from a global viewpoint.
Participants are involved in a wide range of activities aimed at fostering cultural sensitivity, understanding and friendship. Most of the programme is conducted onboard the cruise liner, Nippon Maru, with some activities scheduled in Japan, and others in various sea ports along the way.
