SDGs Action Workshop #72
（Three Days of Reflection with Peace & Nature）
— Attend the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony and hear from a first-generation atomic bomb survivor —
— Learn through encounters and dialogue with environmental and educational organizations —
Peace & Nature is an organization committed to the dual goals of “environmental conservation” and “building a peaceful society,” as its name suggests.
We are pleased to announce our upcoming “Hiroshima Tour 2025: Reflecting on Peace and the Environment,” scheduled as outlined below.
During this program, we will visit a first-generation atomic bomb survivor to hear their story, participate in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony, and take part in the traditional Lantern Floating Ceremony. These experiences aim to offer participants a deep and personal reflection on what peace truly means.
Additionally, we will visit local environmental and educational organizations in Hiroshima and engage in dialogue with local residents to further explore the connection between environmental issues and peace.
For university students, this will be a valuable opportunity to broaden perspectives, and for business leaders, it may provide new insights into social engagement.
We warmly welcome your participation.
