In 2024, Peace Boat organized the inaugural programme “Ukraine Youth Ambassadors” onboard its 117th Global Voyage, which circumnavigated the globe, departing from Japan in April and visiting approximately 20 countries around the world in Asia, the Indian Ocean, Africa, Europe, Scandinavia, Latin and North America before returning to Japan in July. Young Ukrainian students and professionals living in Japan came together as Ukraine Youth Ambassadors to join the entire voyage. They shared their perspectives on the current situation in Ukraine, gave testimonies about their experiences of witnessing the full scale Russian military invasion of Ukraine firsthand, fleeing their homeland and starting new lives as displaced persons in Japan onboard the ship as well as to local stakeholders at various ports of call. In addition, they held events related to Ukrainian culture, traditions and festivals on the cruise to introduce their country.
