My name is Irene Iradukunda, and I am from Rwanda, a country known as the land of thousands of hills. I am currently pursuing a degree in peacebuilding and development studies at PUR. I am a filmmaker, and I am excited about this incredible opportunity to participate in an exchange program at the TUFS. This experience is like a dream come true, and I am eager to engage myself to learn Japanese culture and the advanced academic environment that Japan offers.
My objectives are to understand theoretical and practical frameworks for peacebuilding and development in the Japanese context. Specifically, I will focus on which strategies Japan used to promote social harmony at the social level. I will also focus on development strategies Japan has used to reconstruct its institutions after World War II.
Lastly, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me on this journey. especially the Japan Student Service Organization (JASSO) ,YAZAKI Corporation and the Inter-University Exchange Project (IAfP) for providing all support for this program.
