Peace Boat’s Global University Peace Boat’s Global University - Now Accepting Participants for August 2017 [Tokyo-Yangon] How do we achieve peace and justice in society? This question is more pressing today, when the tendency to secure safety by division and exclusion―rather than cooperation and inclusion―seems to be spreading globally.
