Summer Regional School on "Rural Regeneration in Asia"
Written by Administrator
Tuesday, 19 August 2008
Jointly organized by ARENA, SungKongHoe University and May 18 Foundation
The Summer Regional School is a course of Master of Arts in Inter-Asia NGO Studies (MAINS), which is a collaboration program between Inter-Asia Graduate School of NGO Studies (IGSONS), SungKongHoe University, and Asian Regional Exchange for New Alternatives (ARENA). In 2007, the theme of the first Summer Regional School was “Democracy and Democratization in Asia.” In 2008, 23-28 August, we focus on “Rural Regeneration in Asia”.
It is organized jointly by ARENA, SungKongHoe University and the May 18 Memorial Foundation this year. The six-day intensive “regional school” will be conducted under a “team teaching” program comprising selected ARENA Fellows and other overseas speakers coordinated by a Co-Director of MAINS and will be held outside the campus. The regional school will also invite selected representatives from Korean NGOs/social movements and will provide a space for interactive dialogue and learning along with pre-assigned lectures to be given by members of the “teachers’ team” on specific themes.
This has been designed in the form of “Commune Learning” with six-day residency workshop. Everyone makes a presentation and everyone is faculty-student, and everyone shares the logistical work equally (educational self-governance). This intensive course will facilitate interaction of the global-regional-local interfaces as a new model of critical Asian studies.
