Gyeonggi-do to Hold Online Dokdo Concert on the 20th
[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will hold an online Dokdo concert.
On the 19th, Gyeonggi Province announced that on the 20th at 2 p.m., about 100 out-of-school youths and others, who were pre-invited, will participate online in the Dokdo concert through the Gyeonggi Lifelong Learning Portal Knowledge (GSEEK) at the Digital Space (Lifelong Education Content Production Studio) of the Gyeonggi Lifelong Education Promotion Institute in Suwon, under the theme "Our Response to the Distortion of Dokdo History."
The event's lecturer will be Korean history instructor Lee Daji, who will give a lecture titled "The Real Reason We Must Protect Dokdo." Following this, Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly member Min Kyung-sun (Chairperson of the Dokdo Love and Land Love Association of the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly), comedian Jung Tae-ho, and YouTuber Joo Hyun-jung will freely share opinions about Dokdo with participating youths through real-time chat. Additionally, a quiz contest on the theme of Dokdo called the "Dokdo Golden Bell" will be held.
The event can be viewed by anyone on the Gyeonggi Knowledge YouTube channel (Gyeonggi Knowledge GSEEK).
Since Japan began revising the junior high school curriculum guidelines commentary in 2008 and gradually completed indoctrination education through school education claiming "Dokdo is Japanese territory," Gyeonggi Province enacted the "Ordinance on Supporting Dokdo Education in Gyeonggi Province" last year.
According to the ordinance, this year marks the first time the Dokdo concert is being held.
Furthermore, the province plans to promote various Dokdo education projects from next year to establish correct historical awareness among residents.
