한미학생회의는 학생들에 의하여 계획, 수행되는
학술, 문화 교류 프로그램입니다. 참가자들은 한달동안 다양하고 깊이 있는 체험과 토론을 통하여 양국 사이에서 가장 중요하게 떠오르고 있는 환경, 안보, 과학기술, 미디어, 문화에 관련된 다양한 문제들에 대한 해결책을 다루게 됩니다. 이 과정을 통하여 참가자들은 문제를 어떻게 분석하고, 또한 그 해결을 위한 전략을 어떻게 모색할 것인지 배우게 될 것입니다. 더 나아가 양국뿐만 아니라 국제 이슈에 대해서도 함께 토론하게 됩니다.
참가자들은 미국의 4개 대학 American University, DC - University of Pennsylvania, PA - University of Michigan, MI - Stanford University, CA를 방문하게 됩니다.
4주간의 여정을 통해 참가자들은 학술적인 주제에 관한 원탁회의 및 강연을 가지고,
각 분야의 전문가와 저명인사를 만날 수 있는 기회를 갖게 됩니다. 뿐만 아니라 문화적
체험, 봉사활동 등의 다양한 경험을 접할 수 있습니다.
한달 동안 참가자들은 각자가 속한 원탁회의 주제에 대해 끊임없이 의견을 나누고, 서로 다른 생각과
관점을 교환하며 주어진 논점에 대한 해결책을 찾는 과정을 경험하게 됩니다. 이것은 상호이해,
사회에 대한 통찰력, 문화적 감수성, 의견
교환에 도움이 될 것입니다. 또한 심층적인 프로그램을 통하여 양국 참가자들은 진솔한 우정을 나누고,
그것이 한국과 미국의 밝은 미래의 밑거름이 되게 하는 것이 한미학생회의의 최종 목표입니다.
The theme for the 2010 program is:
The Past, Present, and Future of U.S.-Korea Relations:
Learning from the past, while working in the present toward the future of U.S.-Korea Relations.
Our conference is relatively new but the history and journey of America and Korea is vast. By understanding the origin of these two countries, their relationship and their interaction based on direct (i.e. government) and indirect (i.e. media and telecommunications) modules we can discuss, explore and debate bilateral and international relations.
Rotating annually between host countries, this year's events will be held in the United States of America at the following Universities:
American University in Washington, District of Colombia
University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Stanford University in Stanford, California
Dates: July 12th- August 12th, 2010
These experiences will provide a foundation for mutual understanding, social awareness, cultural sensitivity and a forum for the exchange of ideas.
More importantly, the intense experience of living and working together will encourage mutual appreciation among delegates and promote lasting friendships that will further strengthen the ties between Korea and the U.S.
KASC was an unbelievable experience for me to learn more about the two countries in
the world that mean the most to me. Being half Korean, half American, I was
fortunate to grow up with a mother who taught me many aspects of Korean culture
and tradition, and looking back, I am so thankful that America is the
place that it is, in its acceptance of so many different peoples. KASC
really opened my eyes to how intricate the political and economic relationship
between the US and Korea is. It
was absolutely fascinating to spend one month learning and engaging with
experts on US-Korea relations. It made me realize the importance of being
active within my American political system, and it also grew in me a greater
desire to continue see America
and Korea
as beneficial and mutual allies in the future. And of course I will never forget all the
friends I made across the US
and from Korea.
I had so much fun playing and learning
with people I would have never have met otherwise. My month with KASC was truly unforgettable.
