Gyeongsang National University Human Rights Center successfully concluded the Daedong Festival-linked 'Respect' Human Rights Empathy Campaign
- Through game, communication, and reflection programs, the meaning of human rights in everyday life was conveyed in an easy and friendly way
- Together with the GNU Human Rights Supporters, spread an inclusive campus culture that embraces even international students
Gyeongsang National University (President Kwon Jinhoe) announced that it operated a participatory human rights campaign combining games, communication, and reflection during the Daedong Festival. Over two days, a total of 228 members of the university community and local residents visited the booth and took part in the human rights programs.
The Gyeongsang National University Human Rights Center (Director Hong Jonghyun) held the 2026 Daedong Festival 'Respect' Human Rights Empathy Campaign on October 6–7. The campaign was prepared to spread a culture in which university members participate together, respecting and empathizing with one another. It was organized as participatory programs so that human rights could be encountered as an everyday value rather than a difficult, abstract concept.
The Human Rights Center, together with the 3rd GNU Human Rights Supporters, operated a Game Zone, Communication Zone, and Reflection Zone. In the Game Zone, they held readings of the Pioneering Human Rights Declaration and human rights puzzles and quizzes. In the Communication Zone, under the theme 'My MBTI, My Fundamental Rights,' participants shared the fundamental rights they consider important.
In the Reflection Zone, under the theme 'Checking in on human rights for my future self,' they ran a 'Human Rights Slow Mailbox.' Participants wrote letters about moments when they were not respected, what they hope to see in their future selves and society, and pledges to protect human rights. The Human Rights Center will mail these letters to participants at the end of the semester.
The Human Rights Center promoted guidance on using the Center and support for English/Chinese and subtitles for violence prevention education for international undergraduate and graduate students. On-site interpretation in foreign languages was also provided.
Human Rights Center Director Hong Jonghyun said, "I hope this became an opportunity for members of the school to naturally reflect on the meaning of human rights and respect together in the open space of the Daedong Festival," adding, "Going forward, we will prepare programs in which students, faculty, staff, and local residents participate together and will work harder to make Gyeongsang National University more human rights-friendly."
