[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Korea National Diplomatic Academy announced on the 14th that it plans to hold the 53rd Summer "Diplomacy Workshop for University Students" online from the 18th to the 28th.


The Korea National Diplomatic Academy will conduct the entire educational program online in a non-face-to-face manner for the first time in the university student diplomacy workshop series, considering the COVID-19 situation, and will hold the workshop twice to provide more university students with participation opportunities.


The workshop, held for 120 university students selected from 52 domestic and international universities, will be conducted as an interactive educational program including special lectures by experts and simulated international conferences on major diplomatic issues and COVID-19.


The simulated international conference, conducted on the theme of climate change response, is expected to provide an opportunity to enhance understanding of international issues from a diplomatic perspective, including the interests of countries and South Korea's role, through presentations and discussions by country.


Additionally, participants will have real-time sessions to share experiences from diplomatic fieldwork with heads of international organization offices stationed overseas and Ministry of Foreign Affairs staff, and directly resolve various questions about diplomatic work.


The Korea National Diplomatic Academy plans to continuously conduct various educational programs tailored to the post-COVID-19 era and strengthen communication with the public in the future.



Meanwhile, the university student diplomacy workshop, which started in 2004 to enhance understanding of diplomatic work and strengthen international capabilities among Korean university students, has been held 52 times so far, with over 2,700 graduates.
