[IWPG] IWPG's Wildflower Festival with Multicultural Families
Chairman ManHee Lee is the head representative of the global peace organization HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light), which is striving for the enactment and implementation of the international peace law 'Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War (DPCW)'. The DPCW is a legal instrument comprised of 10 articles and 38 clauses that can end wars and hostilities throughout the world. HWPL is also spreading a culture of peace and implementing peace education.
Chairman ManHee Lee experienced the cruelty and tragedy of war as a veteran of the Korean War. This is one of the reasons why he founded a global peace campaign as the head of HWPL. He has traveled the globe more than 35 times to meet and persuade politicians, legal experts, journalists, professors, peace activists, civil organization leaders, heads of tribes and others to unite them for the work of peace. The significant fruits borne out of his hard work are the World Alliance of Religions' Peace (WARP) Summit and HWPL Peace Committee. The DPCW was drafted and finalised by the HWPL Peace Committee.
How, you may wonder, do I know this? About 10 years ago, when I had just been discharged from military service, I came to know HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee while researching the topic of civil conflicts to satisfy my curiosity in ongoing global issues. At that time, the island of Mindanao in the Philippines was suffering from a major civil conflict that lasted more than 40 years, and Chairman ManHee Lee and HWPL resolved this conflict through non-violent means.
Chairman Lee brought an end to the conflict in Mindanao by holding a peace talk between the warring Catholic and Islamic groups. Before the talk, HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee held a Peace Walk to spread the culture of peace in Mindanao with the many locals who had gathered out of a desire for peace.
Chairman ManHee Lee's pressing appeal today is that humanity unites for sustainable peace in order to pass on the legacy of peace to future generations worldwide. He doesn't just talk peace, but has worked tirelessly for it through practical peace campaigns for over a decade.
I decided to become a supporter of HWPL and Chairman ManHee Lee's peace initiatives because I also desire a world of peace for all posterity.
Today I'd like to introduce an article regarding IWPG's Wildflower Festival with multicultural families :)
IWPG Wonju Branch Holds ‘Wildflower Festival’ With Multicultural Families
The Wonju Branch of the International Women's Peace Group (IWPG) held the 'Wildflower Cultural Festival' on the 5th October 2024 at the Wonju Visual Media Center.
The Festival is part of the 'Wildflower Story' peace project, which creates a more harmonious and cohesive society by promoting tolerance, respect for diversity, and human values for both Koreans and foreigners who have entered a multicultural society.
At the Festival, the IWPG Wonju Branch held a 'Piece by Piece' activity, which collected national flowers from around the world into a single tile, 'Wildflower Photo Studio' and 'One Day Family', which convey precious memories to multicultural families, and 'Wildflower Cultural Festival', which is a venue for various cultural exchanges. A total of 100 people including multicultural families attended.
Wonju City Council member Yoon-sun Na said in her congratulatory remarks, “As a member of the city council’s administrative welfare committee, I have been interested in and examined various issues and policies of a multicultural society. What is important is for multicultural families to quickly adapt as members of society, and for that to happen, the awareness of Koreans is important. I hope that the various activities carried out through Wildflower Stories will inspire many people.”
