JAPAN RCE CHUBU WEBINAR 3 RCE Chubu is presently organizing a webinar series on an all-inclusive reconciliation between Nature and Culture and between the West and the Rest. The series is based on two epidemics, one in 14th Century Europe which killed one third of Europeans. The COVID-19 epidemic will put an end to the financial casino economy Rich/Poor gaps and open a Global Bazaar Economy based on accelerated monetary flow and multi-cultural exchange. The Silk Road will become a Model Region. The webinar series will focus on three aspects of this Global Bazaar world: ≥≥Bio-Regionalism and Subsidiarity = World Federalism as proposed by the RED (Radical Ecological Democracy) movement. ≥≥A World Citizen Assembly of the United Nations, an SNS which will become a network of Global Bazaars where multi-cultural groups negotiate on separate issues like in the Silk Road Bazaars. ≥≥A Non-Killing States United Nations surmounting the Westphalian States proud of their right to kill legally blacks and other minorities. Presented by: Professor Kinhide Mushakoji RCE HYOGO-KOBE 24 We reported the initial action among RCE Hyogo-Kobe against COVID-19. Not all members were ready to use the web meeting system in the beginning of the pandemic, we have just started usual meetings using online systems now. During self-restraint period, half of our members discontinued ESD activities, some members continued or renewed activities along with the social change. Volunteers relating to the child care were active because the formal education system was stopped. On the other hand, youth members seemed to adapt to the online situation earlier than adult members. They have already planned the online-conference by themselves. We will explore what we can learn and how we can adapt to this social change by COVID-19. Presented by: Dr Mieko Kiyono
