Outline of Annual Research Achievements

The main goal of the project is to develop peace education programs or curricula that are appropriate for bilateral Japan-Korea relations. In the midst of the pandemic where all travel restrictions put the kibosh to field research activities this year, the work was pretty much on local activities through Zoom. Nonetheless, we were able to procure important data from interviews and literature on peace education. Also, we conducted a student summit with Japanese and Korean students over the summer.

Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

Despite the delay initially due to the pandemic, the project seems running according to the planned schedule.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

We will continue with the development of program activities including translation into Korea and Japanese with the training manual for program implementation and program evaluation.
