TIME FOR PEACE: 120th Voyage Summary Video

Sep 23, 2025

To mark eighty years since the end of World War II, Peace Boat's 120th Global Voyage carried out a project titled “Time for Peace.” Rooted in Peace Boat’s founding philosophy of reflecting on the past to shape a peaceful future, the initiative aimed to amplify the voices of those impacted by war, past and present. It connected individuals and organizations dedicated to peacebuilding and conflict prevention around the globe. Among the participants included members of the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize recipients Nihon Hidankyo (Japan Confederation of A- and H-Bomb Sufferers Organizations), and representatives of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN).

This video is a summary of voices and experiences shared during these three months at sea, between April 23 and August 7, 2025.
