'Joyful Meeting, and Exhilarating Communication': 2010 Joint Membership Training for KWWA and KWTU activists

Between August 19 and 20, 2010, we, 100 KWWA and KWTU activists had a joint membership training, entitled '2010 Joyful Meeting and Exhilarating Communication' in the North Choongchoeng Province. KWWA and KWTU, sister organizations had had a joint membership training every year until 2008 when the training was changed every two year.

Above all, Kim Ki-sik, chairperson of the Policy Planning Committee, People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy gave a lecture on the theme of 'Korean Politics Today, New Political Visions.' Through the lecture, we at the KWWA and the KWTU had a good time to look back our busy and breathtaking local election activities and think over post-the election Korean politics.

 

Next, we also had a chance to look at social network programs in order to find ways to have more friendly and better communication with the public. It was really great time for our activists living in the web2.0 era to become far more concerned for how to wage our campaigns and activities and communicate with people, and to change the ways we think.

After dinner, we arranged our time to listen up our 5 senior and junior activists: 'Best Choices and Worst Choices as Activists.' In the talk with the activists, we were happy and empathic enough to share their agonies and troubles. On the last day, we had a variety of programs such as 'hiking,' 'making organic cosmetics,' 'learning to dance like singers on TV,' 'Yoga meditation,' and 'picture taking lessons' so as to get relaxed from our daily lives.
