The primary purpose of all this is to provide the participants with an ever-expanding possibility of getting to know each other in an intimate and personal way using the best of the IT technologies, including satellite communication service for remote communities so that together they can share the rich diversity of Asia-Pacific national and regional cultures as their common heritage. Perhaps the most important among the various advantages of this program lies in the fact that such an interactive exchange started in early ages is bound to give birth to new types of lifelong friendship as a personal learning process bound to continue for one's  lifetime. First begining with digital and graphic participation, the children and youth of Asia-Pacific region will, as they become young adults, find ways and means of visiting each other’s countries, on business or ecotours perhaps, to meet each other and confirm their long-standing “digital” friendship for real. What else will be more effective in nurturing a lasting international understanding and a new spirit of cooperation based upon mutual trust among the youth during the first decades of the 21st century?
