平和への想いをひとつのアートへ【次世代共創パートナーシップ－文化のWA2.0－】

国際交流基金（JF）は、ASEAN事務局の協力のもと、第二次世界大戦後80年を迎える2025年に、日ASEAN青少年平和交流・対話事業 ASEAN-Japan Peace Ambassador Project (#AJPAP)を立ち上げました。

日本とASEAN諸国の若者たちに「平和」を共通のテーマとした交流と対話を深める機会を提供し、次世代の平和の担い手（Peace Ambassador）を育���ことを目的としたプログラムです。

初回のAJPAP2025では、インドネシア、フィリピン、ベトナム、日本の高校生計12名が広島に集まりました。平和や国際交流への関心を持つ生徒だけでなく、「自国の抱える民族紛争に対して自分は何ができるか考えたい」「海外の同世代と語り合いたい」など、それぞれ異なる思いを胸に広島に集まりました。参加者は、専門家によるレクチャーやワークショップ、広島平和記念資料館、平和記念公園や宮島・弥山などでのフィールドワーク、アート作品の共同制作などに取り組みました。
その様子を5つのリール動画でお伝えします。

平和への想いをひとつのアートへ
ASEAN事務局のカマル・ママット氏による講話の後、地元広島の現代アーティスト・有田大貴氏の指導のもと、参加者全員で共同アート作品を制作しました。
高校生たちが自国からそれぞれ持ち寄った「私が平和を想起する写真」と、平和記念公園「原爆の子の像」に捧げられた折り鶴（広島市より提供）を素材として用い、モチーフやデザイン、役割分担を相談しながら、作品を作り上げました。
そして、参加者一人ひとりがPeace Ambassadorとしての決意を表明しました。

国や文化の違いがあるからこそ生まれる気づきや学びを大切にしながら、共感や信頼を少しずつ築いていく――そんなプロセスが、これからの社会にとってより大切になっています。AJPAPは、そうした相互理解の広がりを目指す取り組みです。

📌「次世代共創パートナーシップ－文化のWA2.0－」とは
国際交流基金が、ASEANを中心とするアジア諸国と行う交流事業。
日本語教育、文化芸術、日本研究・国際対話を通じて、互いの価値を認め合い、共鳴の輪を広げ、アジアの未来に繋げていきます。

Con la participación de más de 1,500 artesanas y artesanos de nueve municipios, concluye la etapa de registro del Plan de Atención a Artesanas y Artesanos en la Mixteca de la Costa, Oaxaca.

Este recorrido permitió reconocer la diversidad productiva de la región y obtener información directa sobre sus procesos, herramientas y necesidades. Entre los oficios y técnicas registrados se encuentran el telar de cintura, el trabajo con algodón coyuchi y tintes naturales, la alfarería, la talla en madera, así como el corte y la confección.

Los resultados permitirán orientar las acciones de la siguiente etapa, que contempla capacitaciones y acompañamiento en territorio a partir de finales de agosto, de acuerdo con las características y necesidades identificadas en cada municipio.

La Secretaría de Cultura del Gobierno de México, a través de @Fonart_mx, en coordinación con el @GobOax y las autoridades municipales, avanza en una estrategia de atención que parte del reconocimiento de los saberes, las capacidades productivas y la vocación artesanal de la Mixteca de la Costa.

The Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat continues strengthening its commitment with the United Nations to work alongside governments and multiple partners through the signing of an agreement.

Secretary-General Baron Divavesi Waqa and UNFPA Pacific Director Bidisha Pillai signed a Memorandum of Understanding today, which will focus on shared values and data-driven decision-making as part of their shared commitment under the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent.

Secretary General Waqa welcomed the agreement and said it will be measured by the lives of the people it impacts, while Director Pillai said the MOU is the first step in a mutually beneficial partnership between the two organisations.

History has been made, and Africa is celebrating.✨

” we are delighted to celebrate the legendary Angelique kidjo as the first African to receive a star on the Hollywood walk of fame" @obiasika

The National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) proudly congratulates Angélique Kidjo on becoming the first African to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame—a landmark achievement that honours not only an extraordinary artist, but also the enduring power of African culture.

For over four decades, Angélique Kidjo has carried the heartbeat of Africa to the world through her music, blending tradition with innovation and inspiring audiences across generations. A five-time Grammy Award winner, acclaimed singer, songwriter, performer and humanitarian, she has collaborated with some of the biggest names in global music while remaining deeply rooted in her African identity.

Beyond the stage, her impact is just as profound. As a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and founder of the Batonga Foundation, she has dedicated her voice to championing children's rights, girls' education and the empowerment of young women across Africa.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that African talent, creativity and culture know no boundaries.

Congratulations, Angélique Kidjo. Thank you for representing our continent with excellence, grace and pride. Your legacy continues to inspire a new generation of African creatives, and NCAC is proud to celebrate you as one of Africa's greatest cultural ambassadors.
