It inspires conversations about peace through the lens of cultural diplomacy by exploring the interplay between and convergence of landscapes\, architecture\, and arts. Ultimately\, Japan Institute will hold six Peace Symposia on six continents – the first was in&nbsp\;Tokyo\, Japan\, and the second was in&nbsp\;London\, UK. New York was the third\, followed by this one in Cape Town\, South Africa.\n\n\n\nJapan Institute’s peace programming is made possible through Robert and Deborah Zagunis.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSee the highlights from Peace Symposium - London 2022\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1F2UNXk0NU\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[button url="https://rsvp.zkipster.com/_1wwv1"]Register Today[/button]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Partnership With:\n\n\n\n\n
