To commemorate the 100th issue of Peace Seeds, the junior writers will take part in the 繝サ011 Chugoku Shimbun Chupea Festival繝サto be held on November 5 in Chupea Park in the city of Hatsukaichi. At this event, we will share the history of Peace Seeds, from the first issue to the 100th, and ask visitors to help make a banner with messages of support to be sent to the earthquake-stricken area of eastern Japan and contribute ideas for reading cards for our game 謦、eace Karuta.繝サAt 2:40 in the afternoon, the junior writers will discuss their activities, including examples of their coverage and stories behind the scenes. We look forward to seeing you there.
Displaying a banner from Sendai
In issue 92 of Peace Seeds, we reported on the message banner that the junior writers sent to the earthquake zone in June. In return, we received a banner from Tsutsujigaoka Elementary School in the city of Sendai. On this banner are written messages from students, parents, and local residents. We plan to display this flag at the festival on November 5.
Peace Seeds is a virtual peace garden where young people can plant seeds of peace in order to grow a more hopeful life. Thirty junior writers explore peace-related issues and report on how we might create a more peaceful world. |
