DPCW_1038 : Peace education implementation possibilities in its diversity

On April 17th, a seminar was held at the Fresenius University Munich, Germany, under the theme of ‘Peace education implementation possibilities in its diversity’.

This seminar, which started with Dr. Gertrud Müller, a lecturer at Fresenius University Munich, founder of tools4life, was organized to share HWPL’s peace activities and was attended by 11 Fresenius University students. The seminar consisted of an introduction to HWPL peace projects, especially peace education textbooks, and a presentation on how students can practice peace.

It was time for students to break the prejudice that peace is impossible and difficult to realize, but instead to gain confidence in how to participate in peace activities and achieve peace after hearing specific measures to realize world peace.

Students expressed, “I think it is very impressive that you do this work voluntarily. It really shows that you are really behind it and want to make a difference.”, “It’s so fascinating how much you can learn from nature (symbiotic relationships, balance, etc.)”, “It was so great that you were here again. You did such a great job. This is such an important topic.” etc.

Dr. Gertrud Müller will continue to hold various peace seminars and peace activities with students.

HWPL Cheondoism Cultural Tour

On May 13th, HWPL Global05 Branch hosted the HWPL Cheondoism Cultural Tour in Gyeongju, South Korea, which is the birthplace of Cheondoism. The tour was attended by around 30 HWPL members, and Buddhist and Christian religious leaders including the Ven. Beopryun (Geumdangam Buddhist Temple), Ven. Jikwang, (Korean Buddhism Monsu Order), and Head Instructor Sung-min Lee (Gyeongju branch of Shincheonji Church of Jesus). Followed by the Buddhist Cultural Tour – which was also hosted by HWPL Global05 Branch last year – this tour was the second part of the Religious Cultural Tour which was organized to raise proper awareness of religions and foster a culture of peace by interacting with others.

First, they stopped at the birthplace of Je-u Choe. He was born and grew up in the Hyeongok village adjacent to Mt. Gumi. At the age of 20, he started to wander around the country and wondered how to save this troubled world. After observing the situation at the time of Joseon (the last dynastic kingdom of Korea) for 10 years, he finally founded Donghak (the old name for Cheondoism) in 1860, at the age of 37.

The next stop was his grave. After leading the Donghak movement for about 4 years, he died in 1864, at the age of 41. He carried out the movement aspiring to national and public welfare, but he was beheaded, accused of deluding the world and deceiving the people.

World Population Day 11 July

World Population Trends

It took hundreds of thousands of years for the world population to grow to 1 billion – then in just another 200 years or so, it grew sevenfold. In 2011, the global population reached the 7 billion mark, it stands at almost 7.9 billion in 2021, and it's expected to grow to around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050, and 10.9 billion in 2100.

This dramatic growth has been driven largely by increasing numbers of people surviving to reproductive age, and has been accompanied by major changes in fertility rates, increasing urbanization and accelerating migration. These trends will have far-reaching implications for generations to come.

The recent past has seen enormous changes in fertility rates and life expectancy. In the early 1970s, women had on average 4.5 children each; by 2015, total fertility for the world had fallen to below 2.5 children per woman. Meanwhile, average global lifespans have risen, from 64.6 years in the early 1990s to 72.6 years in 2019.

In addition, the world is seeing high levels of urbanization and accelerating migration. 2007 was the first year in which more people lived in urban areas than in rural areas, and by 2050 about 66 per cent of the world population will be living in cities.

These megatrends have far-reaching implications.

They affect economic development, employment, income distribution, poverty and social protections. They also affect efforts to ensure universal access to health care, education, housing, sanitation, water, food and energy. To more sustainably address the needs of individuals, policymakers must understand how many people are living on the planet, where they are, how old they are, and how many people will come after them.

DPCW_1038 : HOW PEACE HAS BROUGHT A POSITIVE IMPACT ; PEACE WALK

Peace has had a significant positive impact on the world in various ways.

Here are a few examples:

1. Economic prosperity: Countries that are at peace tend to have more stable economies and higher levels of economic growth. This is because peace allows for more investment, trade, and tourism, which creates jobs and boosts economic activity.

2. Improved quality of life: Peaceful societies tend to have higher levels of human development, including better healthcare, education, and social services. This results in a better quality of life for citizens.

3. Preservation of cultural heritage: Peace allows for the preservation of cultural heritage, including historic sites, languages, and traditions. This helps to maintain cultural diversity and promote understanding between different cultures.

4. Environmental protection: Peaceful societies are more likely to prioritize environmental protection, as they do not have to allocate resources to conflict and military spending. This can lead to better environmental policies and practices.

5. Human rights: Peace is essential for the protection of human rights. In peaceful societies, people are able to exercise their rights freely, without fear of violence or oppression.

Overall, peace is crucial for the well-being of individuals, societies, and the world as a whole.
