Exhibit in Thailand: Transforming Society for the Better
From February 20-28, 2010, the Ministry of Culture, in collaboration with Soka Gakkai Thailand, hosted the exhibition "From a Culture of Violence to a Culture of Peace: Transforming the Human Spirit:" at the Siam Paragon Shopping Center in Bangkok, Thailand. The event is expected to raise awareness in society about peace issues.
Minister of Culture Teera Slukpetch presided over the opening ceremony and stated that problems and conflicts can be found all around us, beginning with the smallest things that have been neglected and allowed to grow into epic proportions. This exhibition will show that peace can be created, beginning with each individual. Mr. Teera also added that the world's ethics must be restored if the world is to move forward and achieve world peace.
After viewing the exhibition, he remarked that it should be held at many venues in Thailand. It is scheduled to tour the country through December 2010.
