The 5th Incheon Global Citizenship Education Festival was held on November 10 and 11 at the Songdo Convensia under the theme "Read, Walk, Write: Exploring Global Citizenship Through AI-Based Questions and Action". Mrs. Mirian Vilela, Executive Director of the Earth Charter International Secretariat and the Center for Education for Sustainable Development at UPEACE, delivered the keynote address during the opening ceremony, while SUNY Korea President Arthur H. Lee also attended the ceremony as one of the distinguished guests.
The festival brought together 74 schools, organizations, and companies from across Incheon to provide interactive educational experiences and promote global citizenship to more than 6,000 visitors.
SUNY Korea participated in the festival for the fifth consecutive year. This year, the SUNY Korea ACM Student Chapter introduced visitors to computer science through a hands-on learning activity, while a separate natural dye leaf-stamping activity offered participants a creative way to explore art and design.
The SUNY Korea ACM Student Chapter hosted an activity called "Write Your Name in Computer Language!" The students learned how computers represent letters using binary code, a system of 0s and 1s. They first converted the sounds of their Korean names into English letters, then used an alphabet chart to identify the corresponding binary patterns and create personalized name cards to take home. Through this interactive activity, students explored the relationship between language and technology while discovering how computers process and store information.
In addition to the computer science activity, visitors had the opportunity to celebrate the autumn season by stamping autumn leaves using natural dye paint. This creative activity offered participants another hands-on experience while introducing them to FIT Korea.
The Incheon Global Citizenship Education Festival provides an opportunity for students and community members to broaden their understanding of global citizenship through exchanges and interactive activities organized by various fields of organizations across Incheon.
