  • 33. Ikeda Peace Proposal: 2000
    Here is a closer look at the peace proposal that Ikeda wrote in 26 January, 2000. I want to look at each peace proposal and explore the many ideas and concepts he shares about global citizenship. I plan to work up to Ikeda's 2021 peace proposal, before I travel back to his 1983 peace proposal. There are 36 peace proposals from Ikeda so far, so let's dive into them. If you wish to access the full pdfs of Ikeda's peace proposals you can find them at this link: https://www.daisakuikeda.org/sub/resources/works/props/

  • 29. VCE interview #6: Michael Cornell

    We are kicking off season 3 with an interview with Michael Cornell! He is an elementary school teacher in New York and he shares about how his teaching background has led him to foster youth who are global citizens. He outlines important aspects of GC such as inclusion, dialogue, and courage. I hope you enjoy learning more about Michael's own story of becoming an educator, and equally important, how he has uplifted youth to not fear difference, but rather to learn from others toward the creation of a culture of peace.

  • 27. Creating Waldens: Dialogue between Bosco, Myerson, and Ikeda
    Nature and humanity. Nature or humanity? The path human beings are walking has proven to be toxic to our environment. There are limits to our growth on a planet with limited resources. What can we do to curb the dangerous trajectory of unconscious consumerism of modern society? In this dialogue, Ikeda and his two interlocutors from the Thoreau society share insights from the American renaissance. It is fascinating how timely these discussions are in the times of pandemic, racial tensions, and global inequality. Find out more as I share my reflections on this dialogue. Enjoy!

It is inspiring to join a dialogue with two individuals who have dedicated their lives to create peace cultures.
