Scotland’s Youth Peace Academy running 3 day programme to train activists

The National 22nd June 2018 , A FULLY funded three-day training programme is giving young people the
chance to become top activists on nuclear disarmament. The Youth Peace
Academy is inviting 18 to 30-years-olds residing in Scotland to take part
in a packed training programme. Participants will learn about nuclear
weapons, lobbying, writing press releases, fundraising tools and more.
Peace Education Scotland’s Flavia Tudoreanu helped come up with the idea
after attending a similar event in Berlin. She said: “We thought it would
be really good to bring to Scotland.

“Shinda Onnanoko” (“Dead Girl”), by Nâzim Hikmet, translated into Japanese by Nobuyuki Nakamoto

I come and stand at every door
But no one hears my silent tread.
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead.

I’m only seven, although I died
In Hiroshima long ago.
I’m seven now as I was then.
When children die, they do not grow.

My hair was scorched by swirling flame.
My eyes grew dim; my eyes grew blind.
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind.

I need no fruit, I need no rice.
I need no sweets, nor even bread.
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead, for I am dead.

All that I ask is that for peace
You fight today, you fight today
So that the children of the world
May live and grow and laugh and play.
