Introduction to the 2nd World March
After an introduction to the World March by Rafael de la Rubia, the documentary "The beginning of the end of nuclear weapons" was screened, which ended with an update on the situation of the countries that support the TPNW.
Next, a delegation of young Koreans living near the Demilitarized Neutral Zone gave a conference on the situation, highlighting the blockade and lack of communication between the two zones.
Afterwards, Peace Actions were presented with reports of the World March, KOCUN-IDP by Ryu Hwa-seok and Youth Group.
It ended with a joint meal
Everything ended with a joint meal and exchange between the participants.
Highlight that projects were designed among organizations to collaborate mainly in the educational fields both at the university level and in high schools and schools.
The pass through the Demilitarized Neutral Zone (ZND) could not be finalized because it was temporarily closed due to a health problem.
Note that something has been advanced in the situation because now the ZND is free access to citizens, which 10 years ago, when the 1st World March passed, that possibility was unthinkable.
