The programme is called the Ship for World Youth Programme (SWY) and is a unique once-in-a-lifetime programme funded by the government of Japan.
The programme aims at nurturing youths who can show leadership to execute social contribution activities in the area where Japan can show its strength.
Youths will also gain abilities to deal with different cultures, communication skills, leadership skills and management skills through having discussions, cultural exchanges and workshops that are organised by the participating youths themselves.
