Hej everyone. My name is Rodrigo, and I’m a student of Peace and Conflict Studies at Malmö University.
This year, I had the immense opportunity to participate at the INU Student Seminar for Global Citizenship and Peace in Hiroshima, Japan.
INU is the International Network of Universities.
By belonging to this network, Malmö University has the chance to send some of its students, every year, to participate in different seminars in the city of Hiroshima in Japan.
If you would like to know more about INU and learn how can you have this amazing opportunity as well, please check this link: http://www.mah.se/english/About-Malmo-University/International/INU—International-Network-of-Universities/
So, saving on words but not in images, I will show you some pictures from the seminar…..

Overall, the Seminar was a great experience. We had the opportunity to met students from 5 different continents and work together with them to achieve common goals.
Moreover, we attended amazing workshops that gave us new and challenging perspectives on gender, peace, security and the idea of Global Citizenship.
Finally, being in Hiroshima during the commemorations for the 70 years of the atomic bomb, was another priceless event and a reminder of how much we have progressed in the last few decades and how much more we have to work on.
I recommend to all my fellow student colleges to apply for the INU Seminar 2016 and have the same amazing experience as I did.

Best to you all,
