GLH Core Activities
July 2025:
Our wonderful partners at the Hiroshima Botanical Garden will be hosting a special exhibit on the hibakujumoku (A-Bombed trees) from July 19 to October 13, 2025. This event is part of the 80th year commemorations of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Click here for a detailed description of their events.
July 2025:
Gavin Tritt, Executive Director of Oberlin Shansi, visited Hiroshima to meet with Shansi partners at UNITAR, GLH and ANT. At the GLH secretariat he met with coordinator Nassrine Azimi, Mariko Kikuchi as well as Sophie Qano who has been working at GLH as part of a 2-year Shansi fellowship. They later visited the stately Himalayan Cedar gifted to the Peace Memorial Park by former Prime Minister Nehru.
May 2025:
GLH team had the pleasure to spend some time with the philosopher Markus Gabriel and his colleagues. Visiting the survivor trees we talked not just of the hibakujumoku but also of life, politics, history, culture, war and peace. Philosophers, like trees, are essential to humanity!
