2024-10-07 Academic
The Kyung Hee University System, birthplace of the United Nations International Day of Peace, has taken a significant step forward by mustering the wisdom of reflective transformation and actionable practices to address this era of crisis and to inspire a new wave of peace. On September 20th, at the Peace BAR Festival (hereinafter referred to as PBF) commemorating the 43rd anniversary of the UN International Day of Peace, Kyung Hee announced the first recipient (organization) of the Miwon Peace Prize: The Elders, a British non-profit organization. In his commemorative speech under the title, “Facing Transformative Challenges: Thoughts on the Holistic Understanding of Our Times,” Chancellor Inwon Choue of the Kyung Hee University System voiced grave concerns over the alarming complacency of the international community and current politics in their failure to actively respond to increasingly urgent existential threats. He urged citizens to proactively engage with these issues and take preventative action. Chancellor Choue emphasized, “The solution to the problem must begin with civic consciousness, the foundation of politics and public sentiment. Individual citizens need to recognize and engage deeply with these global challenges. From the holistic perspective of an open world, the task of opening up a global horizon of consciousness and practice rooted in the perspective of Chonil could be the Survival Imperative for all who face this era of crisis. This may well serve as an axis of history that advances new agendas for peace.”More -
