Programme details
In this programme, the authors of the report of the research examining visions for 2050 related to peace and human rights present the results of the research such as what kind of society is thought to be achieved in 2050 and what is thought to be needed to realise such a future. We will then invite people who will play an important role in considering peace and human rights in the future to present their comments on the results of this research and to introduce the issues to be examined. Guest speakers from different backgrounds with an interest in peace and human rights will discuss the issues. In addition to typical topics related to peace, such as war, the discussion will include perspectives on science and technology, sexual orientation, school education and refugees, and this allows participants to discuss peace and human rights from multiple perspectives. The programme allows each participant to think about peace and human rights, discuss matters that need to be addressed in the future, and consider the actions that need to be taken in the future.
