Kohima: Two students from Nagaland University have successfully completed the prestigious Hiroshima Orizuru Fellowship Summer Course on Peace and Sustainability, a programme supported by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (SPF), Japan.
The participants, Repakaba Tzüdir, a PhD scholar from the Department of Sociology, and Impolong Changkiri, a postgraduate student from the Department of Psychology, were selected to represent Nagaland University at the international programme jointly organised by Hiroshima University, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation (Japan), and Columbia University (USA).
The 10-day summer course was held from July 28 to August 6 at Hiroshima University’s Higashi-Hiroshima Campus under the Hiroshima Orizuru Fellow Initiative.
The programme, themed “Clinic on Conflict and Collaboration in Natural Resource Management – Advancing Positive Peace and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” brought together young researchers from different countries for interdisciplinary learning, policy dialogue, field-based research and academic exchange.
During the fellowship, the two scholars participated in expert lectures, workshops, field visits and collaborative research activities aimed at strengthening their understanding of environmental conflicts, peacebuilding, sustainable resource management and evidence-based policy development.
Dear Reader,
Every day, our team at EastMojo travels through rain, rough roads, and remote hills to bring you stories that matter – stories from your town, your people, your Northeast.
We do this because we believe in truthful, independent journalism. No big corporate backing, no government pressure – just honest reporting by local journalists who live and breathe the same air you do.
But to keep doing this work, we need you. Your small contribution helps us pay our reporters fairly, reach places others ignore, and keep asking the tough questions.
If you believe the Northeast deserves its own fearless voice, stand with us.
