SOKA GAKKAI ITALIAN BUDDHIST INSTITUTE: €21.6 MILLION INVESTED AND 247,000 PEOPLE REACHED THROUGH THE 8×1000, FOR A NONVIOLENT WORLD FREE FROM CONFLICT

A more just and nonviolent society, inspired by the principles of peace and equity, is the vision that has guided the Soka Gakkai in Italy in selecting the projects supported through the 8×1000. These range from Senzatomica by Be Hope Foundation, which raises awareness among younger generations about a culture of peace, to Il libro delle ombre, the documentary on Hiroshima produced by NATIA Docufilm SRLS with students from IULM University in Milan; from the PhD programme in Peace Studies promoted by RUniPace to the digital archive Peace in Movement by ARCI Nazionale.
