During the visit from our Nagasaki friends, we held a World Café Discussion on Nuclear Weapons, took part in a presentation/discussion about the Treaty to Ban Nuclear Weapons and co-created haiku that was read at the Friendship Day festival. The high school engaged in discussions exploring how multiculturalism is an anti-dote to war…including how exchanges such as with our Japanese visitors can change the way we talk about “other” especially in the terrible circumstances where other becomes enemy!
