SEISA Africa Asia Bridge 2024

Nobel Peace Prize and SAAB of the Japan Council
of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations (Hidankyo)

Some people have warned that cataclysms occur in the world in approximately 80-year cycles, and that the 2020s will be one of those cycles. Indeed, the 1780s saw the American Revolution and the French Revolution, the 1860s saw the unification of Italy and Germany and the U.S. Civil War, the 1940s saw a world war, 2022 saw the Russian-Ukrainian War, and 2023 saw the start of war in Palestine and Israel.
It is of great significance that the Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations (Hidankyo) has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize at a time like this. The reason for the award is “for your continued efforts to realize a world without nuclear weapons, and for your eyewitness testimony that nuclear weapons must never be used again. Inheriting the Hibakusha's desire for peace, we must continue our efforts to achieve “peaceful coexistence in the world
How can this “peaceful world symbiosis” be built? I believe it can be done by those who can keep the three promises: “Understand each other,” “Leave nobody out,” and “Make friends.
SEISA Africa Asia Bridge, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, is an initiative in which SEISA members who keep these three commitments spend one year learning about Africa and Asia together, thinking together, and acting togeth- er to achieve the SDGs (17 international goals for sustainable development) by 2030. The aim is to understand the world that the international community is aiming for by achieving the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) by 2030.
We hope that all participants will understand that the SAAB activities embody the educational philosophy of Honorary Chairman Yasuo Miyazawa and that they will be able to experience various events while imagining that children with the SEISA spirit will be dispersed throughout Japan and other parts of the world to pass on the concept of “Global Symbiosis” to others. We hope you will enjoy the various events and experiences.
