The 21th Unification Academy

Unification Academies 2022.07.05

This year, Seoul National University IPUS hosted the 21th ‘Unification Academy’. Many undergraduate and graduate students interested in Unification and the North Korea issue participated from April 5 to May 28. The Unification Academy improved understanding and interest among participating students about Unification and North Korea, and was also designed to produce future elites within a unified Korean Peninsula. This year’s Unification Academy also received high attention as the total number of participants reached 96 despite the fact that it was conducted in full non-face-to-face due to the COVID-19, of which 56 completed. This academy provided opportunities for students to think about plans for a desirable unified Korean Peninsula.
