Eikei University of Hiroshima and Ashinaga Foundation share the belief that access to education is crucial to nurture future leaders. Together under this agreement, we look forward to supporting young leaders from the world’s peace center, Hiroshima.

 

Hiroshima Global Academy is a public school in Hiroshima that runs a unique English-based program and offers IB courses. Their vision to foster leaders who create “a better future” in their community for peace and sustainable development and to be an excellent model in “learning innovation.”

 

This aligns with Ashinaga’s vision that every student has their own kokorozashi, a vision of how to instigate change, innovate and improve the lives of others. By partnering with Eikei University and Hiroshima Global Academy, we are confident that Ashinaga students can develop their ideas and continue to become leaders for the future in this unique environment.
