Making Peace! --On the Inside and Out—

In this event, we will discuss what we, as individuals and organizations, can do to bring about world peace. Currently, many people are involved in this issue through the antiwar movement. We believe that peace is not just the opposite of war. We would like to talk about peace in a more comprehensive way, as an everyday issue. Our goal in this event is to discuss and explore new ways to create world peace. Speakers Fusako de Angelis: Peace and environmental activist, writer.
