Gwangju as a Human Rights City to Fight Discrimination

[Senior Advisor for HR&International Affairs, Gwangju Metropolitan City]
There is no disagreement in that the Gwangju Uprising is an epoque making event in the Modern Korean history of democratization. One of the major differences of the Gwangju Uprising from other tragic events of the world is the continuous efforts of the Gwangju citizens not only to find the truth of the Uprising but also to realize the Spirit of the Uprising toward democracy and human rights with the support of people in and outside Korea.

People in this region surrounding Gwangju have been the most favorable in Korea to the disadvantaged including refugees and immigrants. Such trend hopefully need to be continuously promoted and expanded locally and globally to make the inclusive society sustainable through global citizen education, which has been promoted by UNESCO.
