Peace making activism in Japan after Nuclear Disaster
~ Social innovation through craftsmanship: Nuclear power plants, war, health recuperation, and healing ~
Join Takafumi Tomita, a long term anti-nuclear, peace, and environmental activist, as he shares his activism experience in post-Fukushima Japan.
He hopes to share his perspectives from his experiences on his political actions, activities to protect children from radiation, and practices of revitalizing traditional food to protect and strengthen mind and body, and to exchange ideas in current forms of actions for “social innovation and craftsmanship” that inherits the spirit of Ghandian Charkha movement.

• health recuperation camps,
• food as medicine for radiation protection,

• farming as a place for nuturing hope from the ground
• community organizing through creating a place for workshop
• creating Earth Day at House of representatives office in Japan to invite politicians to the place making
