Overview
The Oleander Initiative will implement the Hiroshima City of Peace Study Tour in Hiroshima, Japan during June 16-21, 2024. The Oleander Initiative is seeking participants from (but not limited to) the NGO, education, civil society, and community service sectors that are interested in promoting peaceful societies. All participants must reside or work in the United Kingdom.
The Oleander Initiative is a highly-subsidized six-day cultural, professional and educational immersion into the unique “Culture of Peace” that emerged in Hiroshima, Japan after the August 6th, 1945 atomic bombing. Throughout this experience, participants are encouraged to reflect upon the “lessons of Hiroshima” – pacifism, resilience, forgiveness, reconciliation, moving forward, and many more – and then work collaboratively to apply these lessons within their own local contexts.
The project is partially funded by the Sasakawa Foundation, and all accommodations, meals and travel within Hiroshima, as well as expert instruction, testimonies and cultural visits are covered by a one-time payment
of £350.
Participants are responsible for international travel, travel insurance and all expenses before and after the program.
