NGO Piece of Syria will host a peacebuilding event at JICA Tokyo on April 26, 2026. Featuring VR/3D recreations of Syrian cities and a guest talk by a cultural heritage expert, the event explores new ways to support through "the power of culture."

Beyond visible support: An NGO's challenge in Syria. What comes to mind when you hear "international cooperation"? Delivering food, building schools—these are essential for survival. Piece of Syria has provided education and mental care to over 50,000 children by operating kindergartens and repairing schools. Now, we propose a new challenge: reclaiming pride for the future through the "power of culture."

Syria is a country of rich culture where many say "diversity is what makes Syria Syrian." Instead of just mourning destroyed history, we polish it as a "shared treasure" and use it for dialogue. Culture is the strongest thread to weave an unbreakable peace.

Three points of the event: 1. Immersive Experience: Time travel with VR and 3D images. Experience Syrian streets before and after the conflict using 3D models developed with the University of Tokyo. 2. Special Guest: Presentation by a Syrian cultural heritage researcher. Masafumi Abe from the Tokyo Research Institute for Cultural Properties will discuss how protecting culture leads to peace. 3. Dialogue and Empathy: From "pity" to "co-creation." Participants will discuss what they can do together beyond just listening to lectures.
