Korean Peninsula has become what it is, how the continued absence of peace affects the daily lives of the people on both sides what the prospects for peace are, what the armistice / truce means as opposed to a peace treaty, why the people of North Korea deserve to live in a peaceful land as much as anyone else, and most importantly, what we can do in order to facilitate tolerance, intercultural understanding and ultimately, peace.

Ronny is teaching at Li Po Chun United World College of Hong Kong dedicated to promote intercultural competence. He published two books, one "More than a Game" based on his fifteen years in Africa, and the other "A Journey through North Korea”.

4. Social Peace for Young Active Citizen Speaker: Carol Yeung, 2014 President, JCI Hong Kong Jayceettes

Language: English or Cantonese

Duration: 45 min

Descriptions: This workshop aims to present the concept of active citizenship and to

showcase past and existing community development projects related to social peace, and

to create an interactive discussion among students to develop future social peace projects

in our local community.

Living, communicating, taking action and creating impact in our communities. Are you a young

active citizen? Do you want to make a difference in your community? A society functions as a

whole with each of us playing a role as citizens as members of our communities. We start with

recognizing and accepting the diversity in our society, and then analyze the needs of the

community, and cooperation with various organizations to achieve an effective, long term and

positive impact. In 2013 and 2014, JCI Hong Kong Jayceettes ran a community development

campaign in the name of “Care & Dare”, which created series of activities that foster mutual care

and awareness to our local community from underprivileged, neglected groups like rehabilitated

female offenders to ethnic minorities.

曾家洛 Mr. George Tsang (計劃研究員)

語言：廣東話 (Mandarin only)

地點: 香港中文大學

提要：時空的壓縮是全球化其中一種重要特徵。這一壓縮的過程，帶來人口、文化與資訊的高速流動，自然令人與人、文化與文化，以至各類群體或物種之間擁有更多相遇和往來的機會。隨之而來的問題便是，我們該如何面對這種流動所產生的衝突與融合呢？作為全球公民所應具有的其中一種素質，便是能夠擁有適應這種環境的視野和態度，並且致力促進人與人、文化與文化，甚至物種與物種之間的和諧共存。在此對談的精神自然成為促進和平的重要一環。

而聯合國一直推動的和平教育和可持續教育等，正是幫助和推動全球學子掌握這一處境下所應具備之全球公民素養的重要途徑。此講座會探討全球化下的時空壓縮及其帶來的各種流動，以及在這一處境下我們應具備怎樣的全球公民素養，促進對談與和平的精神。
