The programme is for students attending high schools in Hiroshima Prefecture.

The programme will run from 29 June to 24 August 2025. The application deadline is 30 May 2025, 6 p.m. Japan Standard Time (UTC+9).
The Hiroshima Youth Ambassador Programme will be held in person in both Japanese and English and is offered free of charge.

At the end of the programme, the Youth Ambassadors will present their proposals to leading figures on the global stage for discussion and exchange of ideas. A certificate of completion from UNITAR will be awarded at the end of the programme.
