Japan-Ukraine Education Pathways

The Japan ICU Foundation is committed to supporting education pathways for Ukrainians displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In collaboration with Pathways Japan, we support two programs that enable displaced Ukrainians to travel to Japan to continue their education. The two programs are described below.
