At the performance presentation, the achievements of the Seoul Peaceful Unification Education Project were shared, excellent institution cases were presented and awarded, and future directions were discussed.

Since 2019, the district has been participating in the ‘Seoul Metropolitan Area Community-Based Peaceful Unification Education Project,’ conducting various peace sensitivity programs for local residents.

This year, a rich and substantial lineup of programs was carried out, including ▲ August 15 Historical and Cultural Concert ▲ Resident Peaceful Unification Class ▲ Children’s Peace Soccer Class ▲ Children’s Peaceful Unification Class ▲ Peaceful Unification Special Lecture ▲ Dobong Peace Travel Video Production.

In particular, the peaceful unification education was conducted at the Peace Culture Base, which has transformed from a symbol of division and confrontation into a space of peace, actively utilizing local resources, resulting in high resident satisfaction. Despite the difficulties caused by COVID-19, both face-to-face and online education were combined, leading to high resident participation rates.

Mayor Dong-jin Lee of Dobong-gu stated, “To enhance residents’ peace sensitivity, we will continue to systematically supplement and expand various on-site experiential peaceful unification content, providing a virtuous cycle structure of peaceful unification education services that all residents, from children to the elderly, can create together.”
