- 25.06.05 / 이정민
Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung-ryul)'s Climate Change Response Project (Director Kang Yoon-hee (Professor of Russian and Eurasian Studies) and its environmental clubs 'DECO' and 'Netzero' conducted ecological tours and student exchange activities in Gwangju Metropolitan City and Damyang, Jeollanam-do Province from May 16 (Friday) to 17 (Saturday) as part of the 'Kookmin University-Korea University Climate and Environment Student Exchange Day' event.
The event was organized to raise university students' interest in climate and environmental issues and to expand practical exchanges for a sustainable future. Kookmin University research professors Kim Sunae, Jung Ha-yoon, and Park Yeon-joo (Department of Russian and Eurasian Studies, 23) and 21 other students from Kookmin University participated in the program, and Chosun University research professor Park Soo-yeon and 7 students from Chosun University had a meaningful time.
Through this event, KU students visited the campus of Chosun University and toured various eco-friendly facilities to create a low-carbon green campus, including the Green Smart Shelter, Green Lounge, and CSU Vegetable Garden and Climate Farmer School, and experienced firsthand the various attempts to realize carbon neutrality at Chosun University.
The exchange program was a meaningful time for students from Kookmin University and Chosun University's environmental clubs to share their environmental concerns and action plans, and to broaden their thinking by experiencing ecological and cultural resources firsthand. “Through this exchange, students from different regions and schools were able to share their views on the environment from their own perspectives, and I felt that it was a very meaningful beginning,” said Park Yeon-ju (Russian and Eurasian Studies 23), president of the DECO club. “The most important part of preparing for the event was to make it not just a field trip, but a process of exchanging each other's concerns and finding clues for climate action,” he said, adding, ”I hope that it will lead to a lasting relationship where we can solidarize with each other and take action, not just a one-time visit.”
Meanwhile, Kookmin University and Chosun University, as well as Deoksung Women's University, Ulsan University, and Inha University, are part of the HUSS Environmental Consortium, a part of the HUSS Humanities and Society Convergence Talent Development Project sponsored by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Research Foundation, to foster future humanities and society talents with problem-solving capabilities and convergent thinking through interdisciplinary education under the theme of 'coexistence and co-prosperity in the era of climate crisis.
