[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Dongmyung University Human Rights Center held the 1st Human Rights Special Lecture on the 11th at the Student Welfare Center to enhance students' gender sensitivity and understanding of gender equality in daily life due to gender awareness issues appearing in the media.

Under the theme of the drama Itaewon Class and stories of sexual minorities, students learned about media literacy and had a discussion session on understanding gender perspectives from past to present and recent gender issues.

With a lecture by Lee Eun Education, the program was conducted in a Project Based Learning format with group discussions covering ▲concept clarification of gender terms ▲discussion of drama scenes ▲media literacy ▲changing perceptions of discrimination.

Jo Soo-bin, CEO and lecturer, said, “I hope that the gender awareness lecture will improve students' understanding of gender human rights in everyday life.”

Park Jae-ha, a senior in the Department of Counseling Psychology, said, “At a time when human rights issues are socially prominent, the university's Human Rights Center explained various roles and directions well, so I expect the campus to become a place where everyone respects each other and enjoys freedom.”

Dongmyung University signed a business agreement with Lee Eun Education in January to support university human rights and gender awareness education.
