About
The International Student Seminar for Global Citizenship & Peace is being organised by Hiroshima University in Japan in collaboration with the International Network of Universities. This year, the conference is titled Understanding Global Inequalities: Bridging the Gaps and will explore the issue of inequality through the lens of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This conference aims to increase student awareness of global inequalities and explore potential actions that intend to bridge the existing gaps. Participants will have an opportunity to join a number of workshops that will explore different kinds of inequalities such as health, digital and education. In addition, students will get a chance to learn more about Japanese culture through a range of cultural activities.
The programme aims to provide students with an opportunity to explore and reflect on the impact of inequalities on global peace and the full realisation of human potential in the world hit by the pandemic. Successful applicants will receive reading materials in preparation for the conference.
