EVENTS

We are now standing at a crucial moment in history for the call for peace and safety in our ever-changing world. The year 2020 marked the 75th year since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. This year, 2021, witnesses the formal implementation of the Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty, the world’s first international agreement to pursue comprehensively prohibiting nuclear warheads across the globe.

Kyushu University’s International Student Center, together with its supporting organizations, earnestly invites you to join this online symposium. Anyone around the world is warmly welcome.

This symposium will not only discuss the Nagasaki a-bombing as a tragic event of Japan’s past; this special international event will offer you an invaluable opportunity to think about future peace and safety together with other participants across the globe. You will learn from the personal account of a survivor of the Nagasaki a-bombing, engage in a discussion directly with the survivor, and, we hope, commit to actively joining with this symposium’s global participants in the pursuit of global peace and safety in your own lifetime, particularly in these days of uncertainty and instability.

Please register for this symposium. Listen to a voice from the past to seek peace in the future.
