This expedition involves walking the entire 320 km route from Goseong in Gangwon Province to Imjingak in Paju, Gyeonggi Province.

Participants will visit sites such as the Unification Observatory, the DMZ Museum, Jinburyeong, the Yanggu Unification Hall, the Bloody Ridge Battle Monument, the Peace Dam, and the Baekmagoji Battle Monument. Through these visits, they will experience firsthand the reality of division on the Korean Peninsula and reflect on the values of peace and unification. During the expedition, they will also take part in rural volunteer activities.

Professor Jung Dong of the Department of Military Science at Dongmyung University said, "The experience of directly seeing and walking through sites of security, history, and culture will provide students with a valuable opportunity to truly feel the importance of peace, unification, and patriotism."

The send-off ceremony was held in Seoul, where young participants from across the country took their first symbolic steps along the DMZ.
