In collaboration with MEI, the CCSSA (Congolese Civil Society of South Africa) hosted an interactive, educational art workshop for students on the impact of nuclear weaponry on society and the climate nexus.
Students in Busan, South Korea, explored the deep scars left by nuclear weaponry; both on the environment and on generations of people affected by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings during World War II. As part of this experience, they also uncovered the overlooked story of the Democratic Republic of Congo, whose minerals were taken through exploitative mining to build and fuel the very bombs that marked this historic tragedy.
This impactful workshop was coordinated and led through a meaningful collaboration between dedicated, driven individuals : Mr. Lee Tae-Jae, Mr. Lee Seunju, Ms Kim Gyu-ri and Chairperson of the CCSSA, Isaiha Mombilo. Their hard work, passion and devotion made this event a remarkable success.
