Hello everyone! How do you spend your lunch time these days?<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the New Year, the ICC is hosting two consecutive days of themed lunches on January 16th and 17th.
\nThe theme this time is about the current worldwide refugee crisis.
\nThe lunch is a chance to find out more about two countries from where there are currently many refugees; “Syria” and “Eritrea”, and to think carefully about the current difficulties faced by refugees around the world.<\/p>\n

Although images of conflict and persecution tend to be attached to refugees, the guests will talk about not only the dark side of the countries but also their unique history and culture.
\nAnd that’s not all! The first 30 participants can also enjoy a free snack from each country!<\/p>\n

This is a valuable chance to think about different faraway lands while focusing on one central theme, it\u2019ll definitely be something different and fulfilling for you to do in your lunch time.
\nPlease come along and join us!<\/p>\n

Lunch 1: Syria<\/h6>\n

Syria is currently the country in the world from which the most refugees have fled.
\nHowever before the conflict, Syria was a historical and beautiful place, unthinkably safe and secure compared to how it is today, with food and culture praised the world over.
\nWe will have a presentation from Ms. Audrey Legardo, a Syrian staff member working at the authorized NPO \u201cAssociation for Aid and Relief (AAR)\u201din Japan.<\/p>\n

Lunch 2: Eritrea<\/h6>\n

Eritrea is a country in north-east Africa which declared independence from Ethiopia in 1991.
\nLocated in a key area facing the Red Sea, the country has been a crossroads for civilisation and has developed a unique culture as a result.
\nSince the Eritrean government has developed strict surveillance of its people and refuses to hold any elections, there are deep problems not only with refugees fleeing the country, but also with human rights within Eritrea. We will have a presentation from Eritrean Waseda graduate student about these light and dark sides of his country.<\/p>\n
