Lessons from Hiroshima: Cultivating Mindful Peace Leadership
Ray Matsumiya, Kathleen Sullivan, Mitchie Takeuchi, Ram Mahalingam
In an age of deep division and growing global challenges, education has a vital role to play in cultivating peace.
Join the Barger Leadership Institute for two powerful events exploring Mindful Peace Leadership through the lens of Hiroshima. Featuring a screening of the award-winning documentary A Vow from Hiroshima (Tues. March 24) and a multidisciplinary symposium with leading educators, this event centers the voices and lessons of Hibakusha peace activists to inspire ethical leadership, compassion, and sustainable action. The panelists have developed pedagogical interventions informed by the experience of Hiroshima and the narratives of Hibakusha peace activists to promote the need for mindful peace education.
Together, we will examine how a mindful peace leadership education can empower the next generation to lead with dignity, responsibility, and hope.
