Silliman Hosts Online Seminars on Korea’s Dev’t Experience
°Ç¸çºÚÁÏ is one of three institutions in the Philippines linking participants to the Korea Development Institute for the Global Distance Learning Seminar Series that covers ten topics over a seven-month period.
The seminar series is a course in itself. It offers lessons via distance learning on the development experience of Korea from an aid recipient to a donor country. Being tackled are development-related issues in economics, trade, industrial development, the role of corporations and government, infrastructure and human capital.
Participants come from a total of eight countries: Korea, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Philippines. SEAMEO INNOTECH (Southeast Asian Minister of Education, Organization – Innovation and Technology) is the lead site in the Philippines. The other site is the University of Southeastern Philippines in Davao. Participants in Silliman represent three sectors: civil society, government and academe.
At the end of the seminar series sometime in October this year, two participants from Silliman will be invited to Seoul, Korea for a face-to-face training with their counterparts from other participating locations.
