Pukyong National University UN Supporters Conduct Peace Volunteer Activities in Jeju Island

The ‘Pukyong UN Supporters’ of the National Pukyong National University carried out peace volunteer activities in Jeju Island for three days from the 28th to the 30th.

Since its launch in 2009, the Pukyong UN Supporters is a student volunteer group that holds commemorative events for domestic and international veterans every year and conducts peace volunteer activities to practice the UN-SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals).

About 30 members of the volunteer group, including students, visited the Jeju City branch of the 6.25 Veterans Association during this activity, delivering letters, souvenirs, and carnations to 11 veterans and holding a meeting to express their gratitude.

The students also visited the National Jeju Memorial Cemetery and, together with the Pukyong National University Student Council’s National Land Pilgrimage Group, paid joint respects and laid flowers at the graves of patriotic martyrs, while maintaining the tombstones and surrounding environment.

Starting this year, the volunteer group, which has also begun actively practicing the UN-SDGs, participated in a refugee policy forum hosted by the Tamna Culture Research Institute of Jeju National University, attended a special lecture on “Awareness and Coexistence of Refugee Issues, Cum多,” and held a discussion session. They also conducted marine cleanup volunteer activities in cooperation with the Gimnyeong Fisheries Culture Complex Center, collecting beach litter such as holey seaweed.

Oh Ji-yoon, the representative of the Pukyong UN Supporters who participated in this event, said, “It was a precious experience to reflect on the noble spirit of sacrifice of the veterans and patriotic martyrs who made it possible for our country to develop like this.”
