SEED Program 2023 has successfully ended in December 2023, along with beautiful memories and experiences shared among students from Latin America and Japan. After this intense trip, professors from our Partner Universities shared their impressions about the program. Let’s read their opinions!
I am both pleased and proud to have participated in the 2023 SEED Program on behalf of Austral University. It is programs like this one that contribute to our interest in developing lasting human bonds among professors, students, and institutions from Latin America and Japan, that will allow for a strengthening of our countries’ relationships. People coming from different disciplines and different backgrounds, all working together as one. Austral University extends its gratitude for Gorom Association’s ongoing support.

The participation of FAAP students in the SEED Program enshrines a learning process mainly focused on professional practice, in which all participants have the opportunity to test skills that will be crucial for their careers. The interaction between Brazilian and Japanese students during the previous online sessions, followed by an intense study tour, allowed for a strong assimilation of cultural values and expanded the knowledge bases that will enable the strengthening of commercial ties between the two societies, contributing to mutual progress and multiple benefits.

The 2023 SEED Program allowed ESPM students to apply what they had learned in class in a practical setting and gave them the chance to research and learn about the sectors they were working on, as well as the Japanese economy and culture. On behalf of ESPM, I would like to thank Gorom Association for this opportunity, and for recognizing that ESPM students bring significant value to the multicultural and international setting fostered by this Program.

This has been the second year of EAFIT University’s involvement with the SEED Program, which has provided a strong framework to build and expand our relationship. The program is catching the attention of a broader range of students coming from different disciplines, all of them interested in social entrepreneurship and global leadership. We want to highlight the great opportunity it means for EAFIT students to participate in the program and enhance their professional careers.

Participating in the SEED Program is a key opportunity for Los Andes University students to develop skills for their future professional careers by engaging in social entrepreneurship projects and gaining practical experience in addressing social and economic issues. The program’s multicultural environment encourages an entrepreneurial spirit, social awareness, and civic responsibility that Los Andes University so keenly instills in its students, preparing them to be responsible leaders and effective professionals in an interconnected world.
Ricardo Peña – Associate Professor at Los Andes University, Colombia
We extend once again our deepest gratitude to all professors from Argentina, Brazil and Colombia for their support and constant contribution to the program! We aspire to preserve these meaningful bonds with our Partner Universities for much longer in order to provide for the development of Japan and the Latin American Region.
