A delegation of Iranian teachers from the Peace Education group of the Tehran Peace Museum visited Hiroshima, Japan, under the auspices of a Japanese peace NGO and the Hiroshima Bureau of Education. In this one week visit, the Iranian delegation met with Japanese teachers, directors, and school officials. The Iranian teachers also visited several schools and educational centers and became acquainted with the methods of peace education in Japan. This teachers’ delegation discussed common grounds of exchange with educational directors in Hiroshima.

A report of this trip will be published by the Tehran Peace Museum and will be made available to all interested parties. The delegates will also hold a seminar later in the summer about their trip at the Tehran Peace Museum. Please stay tuned for more information.

The Tehran Peace Museum is an educational and cultural center in Iran. In May 2013, the Tehran Peace Museum was awarded as one of the best museums of Iran in the last solar year (spring to end of winter).
