On the afternoon of May 12th, the ceremony for launching the Unification Education Council for Southern Gyeonggi Province and a related workshop were held at Ajou University's College Academic Building. President Dong Yeon Kim of the University is serving as the Chairman of the Council.
 
 
The ceremony began with the presentation of Certificates of Appointment to 48 members of the Council, followed by a welcome speech by President Kim and congratulatory remarks by Director Seung Hun Jung of the Faculty Department from the Institute of Unification Education.
 
 
In April, Ajou University was designated as the Unification Education Center for Southern Gyeonggi Province by the Institute for Unification Education under the Ministry of Unification in the '2016 Regional Unification Education Centers Project.' Through the Project, President Kim is leading unification education programs as the Chairman of the Unification Education Council for Southern Gyeonggi Province.
 
 
The Unification Education Center for Southern Gyeonggi Province is set to provide local citizens and students with opportunities to easily access unification-related programs, including Unification Lectures Involving Citizens, a Lecturing Tour for Local Elementary, Middle, and High Schools, and First-hand Experiences of Unification, etc. In addition, Ajou plans to contribute to building local unification infrastructure by spreading unification-related opinions among citizens through expert forums and workshops with the Unification Education Council members.
 
 
President Kim said, "I would like to lead unification education in a pleasant and meaningful way by utilizing Ajou's strength in fact-based research so that it can help our local community in a realistic manner," adding, "I look forward to the efforts, enthusiasm, and support from the members of the Unification Education Council here as unification messengers."
 
 
In his congratulatory remarks, Director Jung said, "I hope that the Council members will spread meaningful education throughout the community under the initiative of Ajou University."
 
 
A workshop followed the ceremony, with professors and staff members from the University in attendance. During the workshop, Dr. Doo Hyeon Cha, a Special Advisor to Gyeonggi Provincial Government on International Policies and Visiting Researcher for the Korea Institute for National Unification, gave a lecture entitled "Unification Education Tasks in Korean Society: How to Overcome the Ideological Camps."
 
 
After the lecture, participants actively exchanged their views during a Q&A session. Dr. Cha previously worked as Director for Exchanges and Cooperation at the Korea Foundation, Leader of the Crisis Management Team at Cheong Wa Dae, and a researcher at the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses.
