On 12 May, CARP, alongside the Bar Society, organised a seminar at the University of Greenwich titled “Global Citizenship and Universal Responsibility”, featuring Professor Fuyuko Takita as the guest speaker.
CARP first met Professor Takita four years ago during a visit to Hiroshima University, CARP in Japan, as part of a CARP project. Since then, she has continued to stay connected with the group and has now delivered three seminars at the University of Greenwich.
Despite May being exam season, the seminar welcomed around 30 guests, including two professors from the university. Through Professor Takita’s lecture, attendees were encouraged to reflect on the ideals of global citizenship and the responsibility individuals have to contribute positively to society and care for others beyond their immediate communities.
The seminar also marked the beginning of a new collaboration. The Youth Director of UPF attended the event, and moving forward, CARP and UPF plan to work together to provide youth leadership training opportunities for students.
The event created a meaningful space for discussion, reflection, and connection, while continuing to strengthen relationships between students, academics, and youth organisations.
