Empathy Guesthouse in Daegu is hosting a twice-weekly series of lectures on North Korean issues starting Nov. 4.
The lectures, supported by the city government, are run by the Center for North Korean Defectors, a nongovernmental organization that works to help refugees from the North settle in the Daegu area.
The first lecture, given by CNKD director Heo Young-chul, will cover the division of Korea and the two sides’ subsequent development.
Later speakers will include Choi Wan-kyu, dean of the University of North Korea Studies; Chad O’Carroll, managing editor of NK News; and officials from the CNKD-affiliated Daegu Hana Center.
There are seven sessions in total, running Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7-9 p.m. at the guesthouse’s Cafe Empathy. Some have more than one speaker.
Attendance is 5,000 won per session, or 40,000 won for all seven nights including a course book. There is a discount of 20,000 won for students.
For reservations, details on the full schedule and more information, visit goo.gl/forms/hPPuM2pnaC.
