We welcome you to join us in Nagasaki, Japan for the International Symposium on Strengthening Peace through Education from August 9-11, 2017. This event will coincide with the 72nd Nagasaki Peace Memorial and Remembrance Ceremony.

Symposium participants will also have an opportunity to visit Nagasaki Peace Park and Glover House & Garden – both have been nominated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

This is a three-day, special international, peer reviewed symposium created to provide an opportunity for academics, researchers, students, school administrators, non-profit professionals, humanitarians, activists and others to explore global cooperation and innovations in education and the promotion of global peace.
