Peace Conference of Youth
About
The PCY is not intended to be a closed debate. Ideas and proposals generated by the groups will be presented in an open discussion environment to discover the best ways to achieve “lasting peace on Earth”. It will be an environment to gauge opinions and make connections.
The starting point for sustainable actions and problem- solving solutions is for young people to actually feel that the would can be changed by small actions taken by themselves. To break off the negative spiral of poverty it is important to develop an educational environment fitting the region. And from this environment we need to start a movement where the local people stands up to fight off poverty themselves. We believe that the Japanese spirit of harmony , to respect and harmonize with one another will help young people from around the world cooperating to make a durable world peace.
The theme of PCY 2014 is “Expanding region harmony from education”. We would like you to challenge yourselves to make a feasible Action Plan through discussions and presentations.
