The Japan Association for UNHCR (Tokyo), in cooperation with the UNHCR Representation in Japan, will hold a "Refugee Support Seminar from a Regional Perspective: Perspectives and Case Studies for Municipal Policies and Educational Activities" for local government officials and educators. Over 117 million people have been forced to flee their homes due to ongoing wars, conflicts, and persecution around the world. The 2022 Ukraine humanitarian crisis served as a significant catalyst for civil society to reflect on "peace" and "a society where we live together." In Japan, initiatives connecting citizens with the world through the lens of refugee issues are expanding in fields such as multicultural coexistence, international understanding education, human rights policies, and peace initiatives. For example, do you have any of the following concerns? How to develop multicultural coexistence policies into concrete projects How to incorporate new approaches into SDGs, human rights policies, and peace initiatives How to enhance international understanding education in schools How to consider the development and utilization of international human resources in the region This seminar will provide participants with hands-on experience of workshops and lecture programs that can be utilized in citizen events and school settings, through the theme of "refugees." We will also introduce various case studies and practical tips that can be applied to municipal policies and educational activities, allowing participants to leave with concrete ideas for project planning. We will deliver practical tips that will be useful for your next fiscal year's project planning, which is now in full swing.
