In conjunction with the APEC meeting of senior officials, the 2010 APEC Junior Conference in Hiroshima, in which 37 participants from 19 nations and regions took part, was held over four days from February 20 at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum.
The youth, most of them high school students, gathered from both developed and developing countries. They energetically constructed their arguments and completed a declaration of their views while choosing each word with care. These thoughts were then transmitted to adults.
Peace Seeds is a virtual peace garden where young people can plant seeds of peace in order to grow a more hopeful life. Twenty junior writers explore peace-related issues and report on how we might create a more peaceful world.
