Bishop Martin Díaz recently presented the Rome Consensus 2.0 to a group of Japanese students during a session with the Tobitate Dreamers Group. Tobitate! (Leap for Tomorrow) is an educational initiative by the Ministry of Education of Japan that encourages students to study abroad and engage in international experiences. The Tobitate Dreamers Group is part of this program, bringing together young Japanese individuals interested in global issues, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
In his presentation, Bishop Díaz emphasized the importance of drug policies that prioritize human rights and harm reduction, advocating for a more compassionate and less punitive approach. The students actively participated, showing interest in how the principles of the Rome Consensus 2.0 could be applied in their own communities to foster more humane policies.
This session with the Tobitate Dreamers Group highlights the importance of educating new generations on the significance of a global approach to humanitarian drug policies, enabling young people to explore innovative solutions to common challenges.
