by Maiko Sawada (Editor), Frederic Andres (Editor)

In an era marked by migration conflicts and cultural tensions, the challenge of fostering intercultural understanding and promoting peace is more pressing than ever. Traditional education methods often need to be revised to address these complex issues, leaving a void in the efforts to bridge cultural divides and promote global harmony. Impacts of Museums on Global Communication offers a solution to this problem by exploring the transformative potential of Japanese grassroots peace museums as innovative tools for peace education. Through a comprehensive analysis of empirical research findings, we highlight the critical role of creativity in leveraging museums and interactive media exhibitions to instill values of intercultural understanding. Focusing on Japan's unique approach to disseminating the value of peace, we provide professionals and researchers with fresh insights into practical strategies for promoting peace education in diverse cultural contexts.
