SGI representative to the United Nations in Geneva, Kazunari Fujii, gave a lecture at an Asia-Europe training session for youth leaders on "The Role of Human Rights Education in Intercultural Dialogue--an Asia-Europe perspective," held from May 17 to 24 at the Council of Europe European Youth Centre in Budapest, Hungary. The course was co-organized by the Singapore-based Asia-Europe Foundation.
On May 19, Mr. Fujii spoke on "Human Rights Education and Learning from an Asian Perspective--International Standards of Human Rights and Diversities," followed by an interactive discussion with some 30 youth leaders from Europe and Asia who are active in the fields of culture, peace and human rights.
He focused on overcoming the negative impacts of diversity in multicultural societies and creating a universal culture of human rights through education.
