I am Jeon Myung-seon, the first president of 4.16 Institute Of Democratic Citizenship Education.
The April 16, 2014 Sewol ferry disaster braught up to our society huge questions about educational, social and national responsibilities.
Now, with the spirit of 4.16 put into those questions, we are about to take the first step towards practice
4.16 Institute Of Democratic Citizenship Education starts with remembrance and empathy and tries to turn towards participation and solidarity.
The restoration of Danwon High School 4.16 Memorial classroom creates a world where we can live together through communion with students, citizens, and future generations and as an archive that creates 'a path of remembrance and promise' and the children's classroom itself, a living learning center with a big echo, provides a place of practice to heal the painful past and make our society a safe society together with the Gyeonggi Education Community.
We will reflect on the meaning of 4.16, cultivate the power of critical thinking, thereby strengthen our democratic citizen capability and create a culture where citizens participate through free communication.
I would like to express my deep emotion and joy to all of you who accompany us with hope in this wind of change.
thank you
