Soka Institute for Global Solutions - Nuclear Politics 2024 Program at Soka University of America

On June 10-14, 2024, 12 students from 10 colleges and universities, including one high school, from California and beyond participated in the Nuclear Politics 2024 Program at Soka University of America. The program was facilitated by SIGS staff and student assistants, working group fellows, and experts from the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies (CNS) at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. This time an atomic bomb survivor from Nagasaki, Ms. Masako Wada, was also able to join the program and share her testimony with the participants. The participants were asked to answer a series of questions to reflect on the program.

The Soka Institute for Global Solutions (SIGS) serves as an anchor for global citizens to expand their collaborative, purposeful, and sustaining networks of global cooperation. The institute was launched based on the visions laid out by the university founder Daisaku Ikeda in his 1987 peace proposal. In it, Ikeda envisions a world with humanity-centered sovereignty. With this in mind, SIGS provides outlets in global citizenship education knowledge and practices, while building a network of citizens who seek pragmatic solutions to the most challenging global problems of the present era.
