WHAT IS THE POPOKI PEACE PROJECT?
PEACE PROJECT
The Popoki Peace Project is a voluntary project established in Japan in
2006. It uses Popoki's Peace Boods to promote critical thinking, imagination,
expression and action for peace through such activities as workshops, seminars,
camps and other events for people of all ages.
All funding comes from the sales of Popoki's Peace Books and donations.
So far, workshops using Popoki's Peace Book and DVD have been held throughout
Japan and in other countries such as Korea, Canada, South Africa, Timor
Leste, Palestine, Israel, Singapore and the United States. The Popoki Peace
Project (Po-kai) meets once a month in Kobe. All are welcome. For information,
