“What is hope?” This is a question sometimes heard from young people. By shedding light from many angles upon minority issues, we seek to foster a loose network of thoughtful youth. Paying attention to the interests of participants, this Café will adopt different formats, like mini lecture or concert, photo exhibition, film viewing, prayer etc. We would also like to broadcast via internet “radio” when feasible.

Café event #1 will take place July 21 (Fri), 6:30PM, when we welcome Mr. OHATA Yutaka of Nonviolent Peaceforce (http://www.nonviolentpeaceforce.org), who will lead us in a Non-violence Training Workshop.

Café event #2 will examine the Jinruikan Incident of 1902. Following a presentation by Mr. KIM Kyongho of Gakushuin University, participants will engage in free discussion of the incident’s facts, its roots and its long-term significance.
