Day 3 of the training.
Our Malaysian delegation decided to don tradition the traditional 'Bunga Tabur' songket garments in hope of promoting the Malaysian cultural heritage. This morning we were brought to an international GCED conference held at Lotte Hotel Seoul. (GCED stands for Global Citizenship Education). This annual conference was jointly organised by APCEIU, Korean Ministry of Education and Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The conference started with the opening address by the Korean Minister of Education and a congratulatory address by Ban Ki-moon, the former General Secretary of the United Nations. The conference was then continued with the parallel session and forum where they invited a speaker from Germany. One of the issues highlighted in this conference was the unification of two Koreas - North Korea and South Korea.
Personally, I think that inviting a speaker from Germany in discussing the matter was a brilliant move since the Germans did experience the separation and unification of their nation. Being in South Korea amidst the unification process between these two nations did gave some sentimental value that I will forever cherished in my mind. And hopefully, the dream of unifying the Korean peninsula one day will become a reality.
