[Press Conference]

<Source: Korea Women Migrant HR Center>

On April 14, 2008, about 90 Korean NGOs working for migrants' human rights held a press conference advocating overall revision of the Social Integration Programme to be implemented by the Ministry of Justice of ROK. ARENA also joined the conference as one member of Network of Marriage Migrant Groups in Korea. In the public statement, we demanded that 1) the Ministry of Justice do an overall revision of the mandatory Social Integration Programme which is being instituted as one of the preconditions for marriage migrants to acquire nationality, and 2) an alternative programme should replace the Social Integration Programme in order to give support with gender-sensitive and multi-cultural principles.

Regional School on Democracy and Democratization in Asia
Jointly Organized by SungKongHoe University and ARENA

A regional school on Democracy and Democratization in Asia has been organized within the framework of the MA course in Inter-Asia NGO Studies (MAINS), SungKongHoe University, Seoul. The course looks into the dynamics of societal changes and examines how people’s learning has been influencing the processes of democratization and social change. Practical learning from people’s participation in democratization processes and movements and resistance against hostile forces based on participants' experience is another important dimension of the course. Learning from the grassroots development organizations is another major feature of the course.
