2.4 Peace Boat

25 years ago, Japanese university students start finding out their historical problems. They hope to become friendly each other. The Peace Boat go around 15-20 ports over a three-month. The member are from Asian and many countries. These meeting by the Peace Boat they plan to relate between Peace Boat participant and local people. Many foreign volunteers are supportingas a volunteer to teach English and Spanish. Another members are working hard at solving international social problems. They are working also originally job, NPO's staff.

I think young people need to understnad foreign history and culture which tie in their homeland in the international society. I got the deep impression that Japanese university students are interested in their country's military past. It is difficult to point out a historical problem of their homeland and to initiate understanding and reconciliation. Furthermore, they make citizen participate in Peace Boat. It means they show a lot of people their message to set the foreign country straight by various volunteer activities. Today, many countries have a diplomatic issue(territory, religion, trade friction), because they don't understand situation of the other country. I hope they have a fine relatonship with participants through the Peace Boat.

  1. He hopes that young people need to understand foreign history and cultures to fight against a diplomatic issue. I doubt why people do not know what happens in other countries.
