Ms. Park Eun-jin and Ms. Lee Bo-Eun from the Korean Women's Environmental Network (KWEN) attended our regular meeting to find a way to work together on Candle Night.

Since last year, the KWEN have called on cafes and second-hand clothing stores to hold Candle Night for two hours on the last Friday of the month.

During the meeting, the two Korean representatives and the members of the Candle Night Committee exchanged ideas. We found out that we share the same concern.
June 18 to 21 falls on the same date of the 2006 Soccer World Cup, which may distract attention from Candle Night.

On the Candle Night website, we have the global-map based event registration system and the globe-based Candlescape. How Candle Night is spreading to the world can be visualized on the global map. Of course, the South Korean movement can be seen there, too.

We have received messages from them.

We will have Candle Night in South Korea together with people in Japan and around the world. Each tiny light gathers and forms a wave, and it will change a world into the one we are dreaming of.

Lee Bo-Eun

Being slow makes us happier, our society better, our world peaceful.
