These creative programs turned the donation into a joyful festival of sharing, reminding everyone that peace and happiness often go hand in hand.
💡 Peace Beyond Borders – The DPCW Webinar
Earlier, in March, HWPL marked the 9th anniversary of the Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW) with an international webinar titled “Legislate Peace: The Path of Cooperation and Unity.”
Experts emphasized Articles 8 and 9 of the DPCW, which highlight religious freedom and preventing religion from being misused as a cause of conflict. They stressed that dialogue among different faiths is vital to break down prejudice.
The discussions also explored how citizens, not just governments, can make peace real in daily life. Presenters underlined that legal frameworks must be backed by civic participation, education, and interfaith cooperation.
🌱 The Role of Youth and Citizens
Youth leaders shared inspiring perspectives, saying that peace should not only be studied but experienced directly. They pointed to three essentials:
- Action-based learning
- Spaces for free expression and self-realization
- Inclusive, joyful environments
HWPL also launched the “One Korea Peace Camp”, encouraging young people worldwide to participate in projects for Korean Peninsula peace, linking local action with global unity.
