At 9.00 am we started the Roleplay. 10 countries were supposed to ad new admendments to a new protocol to the Refugee Convention from 1951 (1967). All the country groups had worked so hard, some of them long after midnight. The day was long and intense and everyone made an effort to contribute to the debate.
Nathan from JMU in the States representing Germany is trying to find an alley with Julia from Malmö University who is representing USA.
My countrygroup made great effort with their suggestions of amendments but it was hard to represent a developed country when the majority of the country was developing country. But I think everyone learned alot from the roleplay.
Finally we had reach the goal and everyone was reliefed and happy. At a small cermony all students were given a diploma and than we all met up at the Mermaid Café for a final dinner toghter.
It feels emotional to say goodbye to everyone and I will bring back home new friendship from all around the world and also with lots of thoughts and new ideas about myself as a Global Citizen. I strongly recommend both students and staff to take the chance and go to Hiroshima next year. It´s a great experience!
Tomorrow Konomi, one of my students, will guide me and two other students in her hometown Kyoto before I go back home to Malmö.
