We will share experiences of two major events held this summer on peace education; NARPI and IIPE. Following that, we hope to envision future steps of these two events and activities for peace education in Japan. The Northeast Asia Peacebuilding Institute (NARPI) was held for the second time in August this year in Hiroshima, following its launch in Korea in 2011. An intensive training for peacebuilders, around 40 participants mainly from East Asian countries including China, Korea and Mongolia, joined the programme of two weeks of intensive courses and field work.

The International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) was also held in August, with 30 participants from 11 countries gathering in Saitama on the theme of "Educating for Human Security & Survival: Emergencies in Ecology, Energy, Economy."

For global language teachers, “thinking outside the box” means addressing world issues and considering our social responsibility as educators. In this workshop, US-based educator and organizer Anna Baltzer will describe her background as a Fulbright scholar in the Middle East, her transformation from EFL teacher to peace activist, and her thoughts on how teachers can promote peace with justice and empower students to become active agents of the change they seek.


Baltzer is the author of the bestseller A Witness in Palestine and has appeared on television more than 100 times (including The Daily Show with Jon Stewart) and lectured at more than 500 universities, schools, churches, mosques, synagogues, and policy institutes around the world.  More information can be found at her webpage http://www.annainthemiddleeast.com/
