Activities - Peace Ambassador Exchange (PAX)

During select years, citizens of Japan visit the United States, Germany, or Korea and on alternate years guests from American visit Japan - all part of the continuous Peace Ambassador Exchange (PAX) program. The focus of the PAX program is to network and exchange ideas and materials related to peace, reconciliation, nuclear issues, and to hear first hand accounts of those whose lives have been impacted by war and the tragedies of atomic bombings. To foster interest in the PAX from America to Japan exchange, the American Committee makes available up to four PAX Travel Scholarships of $ 1000. accompanied by a simplified submittal and applicant selection process.
