Toda Launches a YouTube channel

Toda Peace Institute is pleased to launch a new initiative to bring Toda’s work to an even broader audience.

A series of recorded conversations has been uploaded to Toda’s YouTube Channel. The first conversations are part of a research project focusing on issues of peace, security and trust-building in Northeast Asia. 

“The Toda Peace Institute is fortunate to have worked with many leading experts in the field of Northeast Asian trust-building and peace, and we feel privileged to have some of them agree to join us in these conversations to share their wisdom,” said Toda Peace Institute Director, Professor Kevin Clements.

Professor Clements and Senior Research Fellow Hugh Miall facilitate the conversations.

“We hope that these recordings will be shared and viewed widely, in classrooms and by policymakers in discussions about and action planning for stable peace in Northeast Asia,” said Professor Clements.

Further conversations looking at challenges to democracy will be uploaded later this year.

The first two conversations have been uploaded to Toda’s YouTube channel. You are invited to view these enlightening conversations. Please share them widely and subscribe to the channel.
