"The Program for Global Human Resource Development for Peacebuilding and Development"

Established by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in FY2007, this program aims to strengthen civilian capacity for peacebuilding and development. Since April 2024, Hiroshima University has been commissioned to implement the program, fostering individuals who can tackle global challenges such as war and poverty.

We are currently inviting submissions for a logo mark that symbolizes the ideals and aspirations of this project, which supports a new step in the career development of those dedicated to peace and development. 

We sincerely look forward to your applications.

Purpose and Background of the Logo Designs Call

This initiative was launched in response to then-Foreign Minister Aso's policy speech, "We will create a 'Terakoya' (private school) for peacebuilders."

The program provides opportunities for learning and practice to those contributing on the ground, from life-saving emergency relief to long-term efforts toward building sustainable societies.

By establishing a logo mark that embodies the program’s philosophy and spirit, we aim to enhance its visibility and promote broader awareness throughout society.

Overview

We are seeking designs for a logo mark that symbolizes this program, which supports the development of individuals dedicated to peace and development.
