A two days special workshop in May marked the formal launch of the Nakao Bridge to Peace Education Program, a partnership between GC and the international organisation Alliance for Oral Health Across Borders. The aim is for the program’s workshops to become an annual event, providing a forum for students and young faculty from dental schools on opposing sides in areas of conflict to collaborate on finding solutions to societal dental problems, while at the same time engaging in dialogue that promotes understanding, respect and cooperation.
