Overview

Kyoko Okumoto (Osaka Jogakuin University), Yuko Takabe (Meisei University), Kadokawa Dwango Gakuen, Terra Renaissance (a certified NPO), and PEACE DAY (a certified NPO) collaborated to conduct the online peace studies program, 'Creating Peace for Now and the Future,' from March 3 to March 18, 2026. The six-day program, offered free of charge, aimed to provide young generations, including students from N High School, S High School, R High School, and N Junior High School, with opportunities to study the concepts of active peace and the structures of 'violence' and 'conflict' inherent in daily life through both theory and practice.

Background and Objectives

Amidst ongoing armed conflicts worldwide, opportunities for young people to perceive peace as a 'personal issue' remain limited. The frictions in everyday social relationships share the same structure as conflicts occurring in the international community. This program was planned to help participants cultivate the capacity to actively engage in society by learning how to resolve conflicts found in both 'global peace' and 'everyday peace.' By integrating the specialized knowledge of university faculty, the conflict resolution expertise of NGOs, and the platform of an online educational institution, the program served 26 participants.

Program Outline

- Program Name: Creating Peace for Now and the Future: From Friend Disputes to Conflicts - Duration: March 3 (Tue) - March 18 (Wed), 2026 (6 days) - Format: Online (Zoom) - Participation Fee: Free - Target Audience: Students of Kadokawa Dwango Gakuen (including general participants)

Program Schedule

Day 1 (3/3): Peace Studies and the World (Lecture) Day 2 (3/4): Power to Create the Future (Lecture) Day 3 (3/11): Peace and Violence (WS) Day 4 (3/13): Child Soldier Issues: Complexity and Narratives (WS) Day 5 (3/17): Overcoming Hardships and Conflict Transformation (WS) Day 6 (3/18): Conflicts and Transformation (WS)

Lecturers

Kyoko Okumoto (Professor, Osaka Jogakuin University), Yuko Takabe (Professor, Meisei University), and representatives from Terra Renaissance: Masaya Onimaru (Founder/Director), Juntetsu Sasaki (Secretary General), and Sho Imanari (Global Human Resource Development).

Future Outlook

Building on this six-day initiative, the five organizations aim to deepen and expand the program over the medium to long term. They seek to broaden the target age group, collaborate with more educational institutions, and construct a cross-border peace education network to foster a society where young people naturally acquire the power to 'create peace.'
