Pukyong National University Students Hold Campaign Commemorating 'UN World Peace Day'

Students of Pukyong National University held a commemorative campaign on the 20th at Baekgyeong Square on the Daeyeon Campus, one day before the ‘UN International Day of Peace’.

The ‘UN International Day of Peace’ is an international observance designated by the UN in 1981 to call for the cessation of war and acts of violence, and it is observed on September 21.

On this day, the student peace volunteer group of Pukyong National University, the ‘Pukyong UN Supporters,’ set up a campaign booth at Baekgyeong Square and promoted the ‘UN International Day of Peace’ to students and citizens. They guided participants on the meaning of the ‘UN International Day of Peace’ and introduced various activities by organizations commemorating the day.

Along with this, students and citizens wrote their own peace wish messages on blue ribbons symbolizing peace and shouted slogans such as ‘A Day Without Gunfire’ and ‘World Peace’ to support the ‘UN International Day of Peace.’

The campaign commemorating the 'UN International Day of Peace' is currently underway.

Jiyoon Oh, the 15th leader of the Pukyong UN Supporters Peace Volunteer Group, said, “We expect this campaign to be a small but meaningful action to spread the spirit of peace of the United Nations to the local community.”

Located in the world’s only UN Peace Special Zone, Pukyong National University has been operating the ‘Pukyong UN Supporters’ volunteer group since 2009, supporting UN-related events and holding memorial events for Korean War veterans, among various activities to promote peace.
