Creating Connections Beyond Differences: Fulbright and the North Korean
Defector Community

 

In celebration of the worldwide Fulbright Program's 75th anniversary,
Fulbright Korea is pleased to host a webinar exploring the impact of the
Fulbright Program among members and friends of the North Korean Defector
(NKD) community. 

 

This event will bring together a panel of current and former Fulbright NKD
grantees who have pursued their studies in the U.S., as well as a panel of
current and former U.S. grantees who have worked with the NKD community in
Korea during their Fulbright experience. Panel discussions will be
accompanied by a brief introduction to Fulbright Korea's history and efforts
toward creating connections between different cultures.

 

July 27th in Korea (July 26th in the U.S.) represents the end of the Korean
War as it was on this date in 1953 that military representatives signed an
agreement ".in the interest of stopping the Korean conflict, with its great
toil of suffering and bloodshed on both sides, and with the objective of
establishing an armistice which will insure a complete cessation of
hostilities and of all acts of armed force in Korea until a final peaceful
settlement is achieved.." Thanks to the armistice agreement, the South and
the North have been able to maintain peace on the Korean peninsula.

 

By creating connections beyond differences, the Fulbright Program seeks to
continue the pursuit of peace as it supports understanding and collaboration
with members and friends of the NKD community.
