새롭게 만나는 폴란드

 

-대사관과 함께하는 다문화교육 ‘폴란드의 달’ 행사, 19일부터 26일까지-
-주한 폴란드 대사와 함께 폴란드 춤 마주르카 배우기 등 다양한 체험-



 

외세의 침략에 시달린 과거로부터 글로벌 경제위기 중에도 성장을 기록한 현재까지.
쇼팽과 퀴리부인의 고향으로 많이 알려진 폴란드는 지리적으로는 멀게만 느껴지는 중부 유럽에 자리잡은 나라이지만 알고 보면 한국과 많은 공통점을 갖고 있다.

지난 2007년부터 다양한 국적의 주한 대사관들과 함께 청소년들을 대상으로 하는 다문화교육 프로그램을 진행해온 서울시립청소년문화교류센터 ‘미지’(이하 미지센터)는 이번 달 폴란드를 새로운 시각으로 바라볼 수 있도록 하는 체험학습을 준비했다.

‘멀지만 가까운 나라 폴란드’를 주제로 하는 이번 행사는 오는 19일, 크쉬슈토프 마이카(Krzysztof Majka) 폴란드 대사의 개회사와 함께 시작된다. 이날 오후 2시부터 미지센터에서 진행될 첫 행사는 대사의 강연과 한국외국어대 폴란드어과 ‘마주르카’의 공연, 그리고 폴란드 춤을 함께 추는 양국 교류의 시간으로 마련된다. 이 행사는 중고등학생 및 대학생 연령대의 청소년을 대상으로 영어로 진행되며, 신청자에 한해 참가확인증이 발급된다.

초등학생을 대상으로 하는 체험학습은 22일과 23일, 그리고 26일에 각각 폴란드의 음식과 이야기를 주제로 진행된다. 22일과 23일에는 폴란드와 전통 음식에 대해 배우고 폴란드식 미트볼인 ‘미옐로네(Mielone)' 를 직접 만들어 먹어본다. 또한 특별히 제8회 청소년박람회 기간 중 서울무역전시관(SETEC)에서 진행되는 26일 행사는 폴란드 동시 및 동화에 대한 강연과 캐릭터 그리기로 마련된다. 만 9세 이상의 청소년을 대상으로 하는 초등학생 프로그램은 모두 주한 폴란드 대사관 문화담당자인 막달린 유라(Magdalene Jura) 씨가 진행할 예정이다.

한편 오는 26일까지 진행되는 이번 행사 기간 중 미지센터를 방문하는 사람들은 누구나 폴란드의 아름다움을 사진으로 담은 허용선 작가의 사진작품을 볼 수 있다. 또한 특유의 색과 아기자기한 모양으로 한국에서도 인기를 얻고 있는 폴란드 그릇을 비롯 폴란드 전통의상, 도서, 우표 등 평소 쉽게 보기 힘든 폴란드 물품들이 전시된다.

서울시가 설립하고 대산문화재단이 운영하는 미지센터는 청소년을 대상으로 하는 다문화 교육사업의 일환으로 ‘대사관과 함께하는 다문화교육’을 진행, 약 20개 국가의 문화를 한국 청소년들에게 소개한 바 있다.

참가 희망자는 미지센터 홈페이지(www.mizy.net)에서 신청서를 다운받아 제출하면 된다. 참가비는 1인당 5천원(사회배려계층 참가자 및 26일 프로그램 참가자 제외), 선착순 마감. 문의: 02-755-1024

     Adolescents’ voices and powers are constantly growing. MIZY center (Seoul Youth Center for Cultural Exchange)’s program, Creative Leaders in Seoul (CLIS) is the one of the programs that can help youths raise their voices in international exchange. From the past, the word ‘international exchange’ was thought as a special word for those who are fluent in English or frequent traveles abroad. However, CLIS, mainly hosted by MIZY center and conducted by MIZY Youth Council Members, diverts attention away from the past and advances a new way. During 4 days, from February 1st to February 4th, the 63 selected high school students who are interested in international exchange were gathered up, pitched as teams thematically and created international exchange program regarding these 9 topics: Water, Disease, Money, Pen, Eyes, Color, Home, Dance and Crack. By giving presentations of the organized program, 3 winning teams were awarded: Korean Commission for UNESCO Secretary General Award, the Grand Prize, and Congeniality Award. If the realization of the awarded programs is highly feasible, it may be considered for coming into effect.




<Day 1: a lecture and organizing each team’s progress>


     As Feb 1st was the first day of the camp, the participants mainly spent their time listening to the lecture and organizing their thoughts on what they had discussed about their topics before the camp. They had brainstormed their theme and tried to find the relationship between their topic and international exchange by having advanced meetings for weeks before the camp. In this situation, CLIS offered a lecture which could further elaborate on one of the main subjects matter: international exchange. The first lecture, given by Gi-tae Park (Leader of Voluntary Agency Network of Korea) enlightened the ideas of creative international exchange by illustrating how VANK itself managed to do international exchange by using various methods and materials




     After the helpful lecture time was over, through “Mid-workshop”, each team showed how working as a group brings creative solutions into play. They introduced interpretations of their own topics throughout discussions before the camp, and found the link that holds two main keywords: their motif and international exchange, together.

 

Following is the Day 1’s interview (2/1) :

 

  1. How was your first day?

[Yeon-ju Cho/ Water] Before the camp started, we had several on-line meetings, but I realized that talking face-to-face is pretty much different from the on-line works. In the process, I leave much to be desired. However, we will further garnish our international exchange program through tomorrow’s field trip.

 

2.     Can you describe your plans in words?

[Min-a Kim/ Crack] Saving isolated people slipped through crack.

 

3.     How’s your teamwork?

[Ok-jin Yang/ Color] Very harmonious. We respect each other which make our teamwork smooth.

<Day 2: Field trip>


In order to increase specialty, each team managed to do outdoor activities. Any kind of field trip was available in Seoul such as but not limited to: visiting organization, seeing exhibitions, surveying, and street interviewing. The following is a video clip that shows what the participants had done and had learned so far during a field trip.




<Day 3: get ready for a presentation/ recreational activity>


     After several meetings in the camp were over, recreational program “Question Mark” was prepared for the participants. The time was offered for students not only to make their own teamwork more effective for the next day’s presentation but also to get close to other teams by doing physical activities. Activities, including “knowing secret friend” and “talk in the dark” were brilliant ideas from MIZY Youth Council Members for student to enjoy the camp better.


As this was close to the wrap-up day about a program for MIZY Youth Council Members, I did a brief interview with Mr. Inhwan Ko, the president of Youth Council Member.

 

  1. What is the reason you keep doing the camp CLIS in different ways, as a participant, mentor, and manager? (Mr. Ko was the 1st CLIS camper and now he is the general manager of the 3rd CLIS)

 

When 2010, the 1st CLIS was held, I had an immature fantasy about the word ‘international’ as this word looked pretty incredible to me. So, I joined the camp and after 2 months, I wanted to become a MIZY Youth Council Member in order to understand about international exchange better and organize the camp CLIS. However, I faced a lot of operational problem such as mentoring system. As there were a lot of mentors and as their ages were similar to participants, feedback was not much organized, rather it was more close to bouncing personal thoughts. Also, the topic itself had a lot of problems. When I was a 1st CLIS participant, I was in education team. However, education itself can apply to almost everything: methodologically and conceptually. For example, environment design. The subject environment design cannot stick to one subject as environment is closely related to methodology while design is more conceptual. So, I really wanted to solve these basic, but hardest problems. However, at that time, I was a senior in high school and it was tough to me. Now, I thought that I can somehow contribute more to the camp as a university student, this is somewhat formal, and the real reason is: the CLIS is so attractive. There was a prominent figure called Kyung-hyun Kim who is currently working in ODA, who used to be the lecturer for the 1st and the 2nd CLIS. He suggested the idea that we can also do international exchange domestically. Sounds weird but I think is much progressed thought. One of the reasons why we do international exchange is to realize global issues and internalize those problems to solve it. Going to abroad and embracing foreign issues cannot be the most active part in international exchange. That’s what I realized and pretty much convinced by Mr. Kim’s theory. Afterwards, I saw a lot of students who were agreeing with me.

 

2.     What is the most special factor in the 3rd CLIS?

 

Change of the topics seems to be the most extreme makeover. As you can see, topics are changed a lot. The 1st and 2nd CLIS used to have the team name performing art, environment, design, education etc. but now, we have 9 one-word topics like water, crack, and money. You know what to do with previous topics. For example, environment. If the topic, environment is given, all you have to think about is to protect environment. So pretty much things are fixed. Youth Council Members were complaining about this problem. What we wanted to do is to make people to have their own creative ideas. With this regard, we came with the MDGs (The Millennium Development Goals), but still they were fixed goals. Worldwide, we know these goals are needful, much to be achieved, and necessary. Indications, programs, campaign, are all set globally, and those things are fairly done by United Nations, not by Youths. We rather thought that the most creative things are from daily life not from somewhere else. Actually, this idea was pretty much supported by the chief of MIZY center, Ms. Young-ju Kim, and she came with the idea of ‘water’ for example, Water, is very useful and essential resource. Water is also a core cause of the conflicts and still many people are combating globally in terms of uneven distribution. Understanding water is also one way to understand one of the global issues: conflicts. Everyone was so shocked when the chief was coming with these ideas. We pondered, how we come up with these ideas, and that we came up with one word in order to be concise and creative. Youth Council Members suggested various candidates such as: pen, light, gun, and culled into 9 words. To wrap up, the fact: difference in topics itself is not that much amazing. We all know it’s just changed. But the background is meaningful to understand 3rd camp better.

 

3.     Any difficulties or inconveniences?

 

I was only focusing on making the 3rd camp distinguished by the previous campers. So I ignored the lessons that I could gain from the preceding camps. View of the participants is different from director. It seems that everything is fine and smoothly, but the view of manager, we had some communication problems within the instructor and Council Members. We had a very wide range of age, 17-20, which seems to have distinct roles according to their age. However, individual roles were not clear and fixed. If the situation is given, sometimes role should be flexible in responding. But there were some miscommunication during camp. So what happened, we were so adjusted and familiar with our fixed roles, and we didn’t realize that young members can also do the better jobs. We did not ignore them, but misinterpreted and misunderstood their roles. I could see that these were the communication problem in this camp than the previous ones which is of course the consequences of overlooking lessons from the past. I was only focused on making an innovative, funny, creative, and exciting camp and less paying attention on communication. It had a positive point though. Campers enjoyed in terms of directors of this camp. In words of one syllable, it was not good governance, rather it was a good program.





<Day 4: a day of presentation and farewell>



This year, unlike the previous CLISs, the MIZY Youth Council Members adopted the new system called “Senior Evaluation Group” consisting of the 1st and the 2nd CLIS participants. The 2nd CLIS had a mentoring system for each team with the mentors who contributed the 1st CLIS. However, the Youth Council Members abolished the mentoring system and set the new method in order to increase independence of the teamwork and to evaluate programs with fairness.

For the evaluation, there were 3 prominent figures in international exchange form 50, MIZY Youth Council Members form 30, and the Senior Evaluation Group form 20 of appraising each team’s program plans and presentations.

Each team’s presentation was formed in different ways for 10 minutes, such as acting as if the created program actually happened or illustrating their programs through props. After their performances were over, each team had Q&A time for their programs from the judges on the spot.

The result of the camp turned out to have 3 winners: Pen, Disease, and Eyes. However, regardless of the results, all of contributors have done great jobs and it stimulated the participants’ way of looking and thinking about how rather than international exchange requiring assured English skills and being frequent travelers, it can be happen by creative ideas. The camp CLIS truly was a useful schedule for students to have wider views, and they may find it can serve as “a step ahead to become a global leader”.

2013 the 4th CLIS is expected to be held on too. You can register for the 4th CLIS on January 2013 through on-line (only on-line application is available), so please keep your eye on the notice!



 

       Who said that donations are only done by money? The Hat Knitting Campaign defines another type of donation in the global world.

 

           When people think about the world ‘volunteer’ or ‘donation’ we often think about the red charity boxes that we put money into. Or often people relate volunteer work to cleaning up after messes or other physical activities. However, Save the Children’s Hat Knitting Campaign is defining a new type of volunteer for the people across the world. Since 2007, Save the Children, an international organization helping the world’s child poverty, has been pursuing the ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’. This campaign is meant to help infants dying due to diseases that can easily be treated. What makes this campaign special is the fact that instead of just simply donating money; participants knit hats with their own hands to ship to infants in developing countries. Now beyond just money, there are efforts sent along with the donations.

           The ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’ is growing steadily with lots of attentions. Now this campaign is celebrating its 5th year and stands with a goal to ship 15 thousand knitted hats to Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. To hear about the enormous spread of contribution-culture set by this campaign, I interviewed Park Young Ee from the Save the Children Communication Team.


          
The ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’ holds its significance for defining a new type of ‘volunteer’ and ‘donation’. Instead of just donation money, each time I knit I can think about the infants that will be wearing the hat in my hands after a couple months. The participants love, effort and care will be shipped across the Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. The positive energy this campaign is sending not only to the participants but also to the people across the world is making the world feel like a warmer place.

Q. What is the starting background of the ‘Save the Children Hat Knitting Campaign’?

 

A. Annually Save the Children publishes ‘State of the World’s Mothers’. In this, there was a rank for ‘good countries to be a mother at’. According to this ranking, in the whole world, every year about 7 million infants under 5 have their breath taken away. Out of these infants 2 million babies die on their day of birth, and 4 million lose their precious lives within a month.

 

The deaths of these infants are due to easily cured diseases such as pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria. There are easy and quick ways to save the infants from losing their lives such as malaria prevention mosquito net, antibiotic, moisture supplement and etc. To provide easy ways for people to help these infants, we have started this campaign.

 

Save the Children has started the ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’ in South Korea 2007 and is continuing the 5th season this year with United States, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia and Hong Kong.

 

Q. When most people think about ‘volunteer’, people think about doing chores for the neglected class of people or doing their works for them. However, the ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’ is a unique type of volunteer. You knit the hats at home and send them on a plane to be shipped across to countries such as Africa. What do you believe is the unique way of volunteering that this only this campaign offers?

 

A. The ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’ is not only a donation type of giving. Instead it holds great significance for settling a new type of contribution culture-giving by making by the hand. Also in the hat knitting kit cost, along with the cost for the kit, there is also a donation included to sponsor foreign nutrition business. When you buy the kit, you can donate and knit the hat and contribute it. Since in this campaign, you can contribute twice, the fact that the happiness will be twice is something that makes ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’ different with other volunteers.

 

Q. The campaign could’ve been called ‘Sock Knitting Campaign’ or ‘Scarf Knitting Campaign’. Out of so many products, why did Save the Children specifically choose ‘hats’? Was there a special situation related with hats?

 

A. Wool hats are known to keep the baby’s body heat and act as an incubator like a kangaroo care. Through this way, the percentage of the death of infants can be lowered to about 70 percent- the reason why Save the Children started the ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’. 

 

Q. This campaign started in 2007 and is already continuing its 5th season. What is the special key to maintain a campaign for continuous times?

 

A. Since the campaign started in 2007, as the years pass the number of participants in the campaign and the number of hats have been increasing steadily. Especially last year, in the season 4, with 61,488 participants and 141,574 hats have been gathered from all over the country, allowing it a byname of ‘national campaign’. The reason that this campaign can be continued is due to the participants. Even though the knitting process is hard, many participants are willing to challenge themselves to knit to contribute. The participants who have been calling for the kits even before the season started, participants participating in every season, participants knitting all winter long and sending a whole basket and etc. are the people who has made this campaign and raised this campaign.

 

Q. Is there an ultimate goal for the ‘Hat Knitting Campaign?

 

A. The ‘Hat Knitting Campaign’ progressed as the save the infants under 5, as a part of the EVERY ONE Campaign. (EVERY ONE Campaign is a campaign to save help children grow healthily until the age of 5. The reason why we help children until they are 5 is because if they are healthy until 5 years old they grow a level of immunity that allows them to age until their 70s.) This campaign is a global campaign that started in 2009 to protect children’s dying from diseases that can be easily cured, in about 50 countries across the world. Every year about 8.1 million infants are dying due to easily cured diseases. Save the Children is working in countries with high infant mortality rates such as Mali, Nigeria and etc. They are supplying medicines and medical supplies and training region medical treatment human resources to protect babies against unnecessary deaths.

 

The ultimate goal of EVERY ONE Campaign is the 4th and the 5th goal in the MDGs, reduce child mortality and improve maternal health. United Nation’s MDG(Millennium Development Goals) is an agenda adopted by the agreement of 191 participating countries in 2000. The MDG is 8 international promises to make poverty in half by the year of 2015.

 

* Goal 4(Reduce child mortality): By the year of 2015, according to the standard measured in 1990, reduce the child mortality in to 2/3rd.

*Goal 5(Improve maternal health): Between the years of 1990~2015 reduce the death of mothers with babies to 3/4th.
