So, I will attempt to recount the last 2 days in as much detail to be thorough, but not so much to completely bore anyone out there. The schedule for the day started at 9 and went through to 4. There were 3 sessions. The first was about Special Education in Japan and the third was about the role of women in Japanese society; both interesting enough, but paled in comparison to the seminar on Peace Education.
Meet Mr. Koji Ikeda.

He grew up in Hiroshima. He is "Hibakusha," which is the term for the survivors of exposure to radiation. His story is fantastically moving. He began by saying," I do not know how long I will be alive, but as long as I am, I want to tell you something about the A-bomb." I will bring back a tape of his presentation. I will be happy to share his story with anyone who wants to hear it. There were 2 other excellent presenters. All-in-all, this was a definite highlight so far!
