2016-03-22
 
Ajou University was selected as the 'Unification Education Leading University' by the Ministry of Unification. Through the project, the Ministry aims to promote unification education at universities by developing unification education models and expanding related subjects, etc.
 
 
On March 18th, the Ministry of Unification said that it chose six universities as 'Unification Education Leading Universities,' including Ajou, Seoul National University, Soongsil University, Chungnam National University, Kyungnam University, Gwangju National University of Education.
 
 
Thirty-one four-year universities applied for the project, which was introduced this year. The selection was based on written evaluations and interviews, and a total of 1.8 billion won will be provided to the six universities that were chosen.
 
 
Having been selected for the project, the University plans to run the 'Ajou Unification Education Program,' which aims to foster talents with practical expertise in unification by providing experience-oriented unification education based on revamped liberal arts and major subjects. The University is also preparing programs to facilitate unification-related community services and study clubs run by students and support exchanges between students and youth who fled from North Korea to the South. Other programs include online lectures on unification and various other special lectures, which will help the citizens and local governments prepare for the unification era, as well as students.
 
 
Last December, the University opened the Unification Institute and held the "2015 Conference on the Unification of the Koreas - From Humanitarian Support to Cooperation for Development" in partnership with the Gyeonggi Provincial Government.
