Online program

Japan-Africa Triangle Education Program opened five online courses in 2021 for students in Japan, Egypt, Zambia, and Malawi. Four out of the five courses covered topics ranging from Peace and SDGs to International Cooperation and Disaster Resilience. The interdisciplinary nature of the program allowed each student to utilize their personal expertise and knowledge relating to their field of study and work together in trying to find possible solutions to SDGs issues relevant in the world today. Students from Egypt and Sub-Saharan Africa also had the exclusive chance to learn about Japanese language and culture.
