SEED 2023
2023 Themes & Participants
The 2023 SEED Program is centered around the revitalization of regional culture and economy of rural Japan, specifically Yamanashi. Yamanashi is rural and relatively unknown abroad, but has an abundance of high quality luxury goods and tourist destinations that make it an ideal setting for the SEED Program. It is on this basis that the themes for the 2023 SEED Program were selected: Sake, Wine, Jewelry, and Textiles.

2022 Testimonials
Daniela Montoya
Wine Team｜EAFIT University,
Colombia
It was such an amazing and enriching experience. We are helping to strengthen the relationships between countries that are far from one another but have a lot of potential to work together.
Gabriel Lehwing
Food Culture Team｜ESPM College, Brazil
Due to each student having a different background, nationality, and way of working, the online meeting dynamic can be a challenge, but a bond was created during the times we were together.
Suzuka Mortia
Jewelry Team | Sophia University,
Japan
If I could have joined this program earlier, I would have developed an interest in Latin America much sooner. It was a very good experience to become friends with Latin American students.

Sake Team｜Austral University,

I really wanted to develop an international perspective on business and organizations. I think that the SEED Program was one the most impactful experiences I’ve had in this sense.
