In the period from August 6 to 27, 2022, 26 students from Seoul, Busan and Daegu City participated in the Global Leadership Youth School for Unity, held at the Korean National Assembly (Parliament) and co-hosted by the MPPU International & Korea and New Humanity NGO.
The program covered different thematic areas such as Climate Change and Action, Gender Equality, Human Rights, Affordable & Clean Energy (topics among UN SDGs), and there were also some special lectures and group discussions entitled How to dialogue in a harmonious way?, What kind of leadership is needed for the current period?, and Beautiful Korean Campaign.
Dr. Peter Kil, President of the MPPU Korea has mentioned in regard: “Young students of Korea have been eager to meet each other and share their views with their colleagues on several issues affecting their present and future. And they asked the host to pick up two major themes, i.e. climate change and energy security as well as human rights and gender equality. Those issues happened to be part of the UN SDG-17 agenda which we are willing to discuss with some experts and NGO activists. In addition, those issues are also major concerns of the New Humanity NGO, our co-host has been working on for a united world with youngsters of the whole world.”
The four-week summer program gave the proper certificate to each participant and a new winter school is expected to be held in the coming winter with another several topics of common interest and concern.
