Highlights

If our future society is to overcome conflicts and confrontations and rise to the ideals of tolerance and peace, then diversity and universality must be realized in harmony. To that end, Kyung Hee University and University of Pennsylvania are inaugurating the Global Collaborative Summer Program in Global Governance and East Asian Civilization.

The Global Collaborative Summer Program is joined by East Asia's finest universities; Peking University in China, Ritsumeikan University in Japan, Moscow State University in Russia as well as the United Nation's Department of Economics and Social Affairs and Conference of NGOs(CONGO).

An extension of the Penn-Kyung Hee Collaborative Summer program, a joint initiative of Kyung Hee University and University of Pennsylvania, launched in 2006, the Global Collaborative strives to promote a better understanding of the East Asian region and the world, in tandem with the current quests for "multiculturalism" and "global trust." It also aims to provide a new paradigm for higher education by integrating education, research, and practice.

Through high- quality research, education and diverse modules on Global Governance and East Asian Civilization, we hope this program will present an opportunity for students around the world to come together for a better understanding of each other. We also wish all the participants can explore the common norms, tasks, and goals for the future of global society in the 21st Century.
