arrupe On June 20, we held an Arrupe Special Live event in conjunction with World Refugee Day!
The event was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the live-streaming was a great success, with over 100 people participating in real-time, and over 1,500 people watching the event including those who came back later.
Having so many people watch the live performance and having it featured on TBS and NHK gave the Arrupe refugees a sense that their voices were heard by many people, and that is a great source of support and joy for them.
Thank you very much for tuning in.
