We invite Ms. Yoshiko Takeuchi, who is the representative of Ehime Global Network this time and perform a lecture concerning the grass-roots effort toward peace establishment in Africa.
After Mozambican Civil War peace was established by citizens. Weapons were exchanged for bicycles sent from Japan, etc. and many of the guns collected were blasted. On the other hand, some guns collected were reincarnated as “weapon art” by artists.
We will consider ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) with weapon art.
Let's take ourselves to a stone's throw from Africa.
