What is the JCI Academy?

The JCI Academy is a premier event organized by the Japan Junior Chamber, serving as a platform for young leaders from various countries to come together for a unique ten-day program dedicated to mutual understanding and leadership development. Recognized by JCI (Junior Chamber International) since 1987, this event stands central to the organization's mission, promoting leadership growth and cultural exchange.

The academy aims to build trust through cross-cultural interactions and create independent leaders who will drive the JCI movement in their respective regions. Ultimately, these efforts align with JCI's vision of achieving "lasting and sustainable world peace."
