The vice-president explained the three elements of our unification movement culture as a culture of ‘living for the sake of others’, ‘ownership’ and ‘team work.’ He also encouraged the leaders by saying, "If these 3 elements of culture can be established then we will be able to do greater things … let us all work together."

Ambassador Akiko lectured on ‘Guidelines for Creating Service for Peace Project.’ Ambassador Akiko explained the meaning of SFP saying; "Before we begin SFP activities we must know the heart of HJN who talks about SFP and the wishes of True Parents … SFP shows us the way to become filial sons and daughters to God and True Parents."
