What is the "Japan Learning Support Fund"?
To promote the healthy growth and active participation of generations who will bear the future of Japan and the world, it is necessary to foster an environment and human resources where all generations can understand themselves, understand, share, and empathize with the values of others and the diverse values on Earth. One way to achieve this is to learn about the history and culture cultivated in Japan. Learning history and culture leads to understanding the formation of modern society, learning from past lessons, and nurturing judgment and creativity to improve the future. This fund provides grants to projects that support the healthy development of youth by learning about Japanese "philosophy," "history," "culture," "politics," "literature," and fostering a Japanese identity.
