ipyg- Breath of Peace, Asia's future

<Emblem of the 17th Incheon Asian Games>

  <Slogan of the 17th Incheon Asian Games>

  Breath of Peace, Asia's future  

The 17th Asian Games will be held from September 19 to October 4 in Incheon, Republic of Korea for 16 days. Asian Games are Asian's festival like the Olympics are World's festival. Athletes will play their own sports and the people will enjoy  this festival getting together for cheering. The athletes and board members from 45 countries will participate in the Asian games and the media in each country will report this. 

When I see this festival's purposes, as a member of IPYG who loves peace, there was one thing that caught my eye. It meant to make a community for communication and harmony with the games of peace which resolve conflict of ideology, religion and ethnics. Its goal made me feel warm in my heart.

  

Furthermore, this games' motto is also "the breath of peace, the future of Asia (Diversity Shines Here)". It contains a meaning to display(shine) splendid and diverse history, culture, tradition, religion throughout Asia, pursue peace of humanity with harmony and friendship, and make shining future of Asia.

Since the history of human being begins, there has been consistent wars and it is on-going even now. Although the Asian games will be held with so good goal and motto, it cannot put an end to war at once. However, I am sure that peace and harmony can be realized over the world, if this spreads over everyone's mind like the goal and motto of Incheon Asian Games. And I really hope it could be as a member of IPYG.
