The promotion project on sociocultural exchange and communication between north and south Koreans

Abstract

This paper aims to develop effective and efficient sociocultural exchanges and communication programs between North and South Koreans. To this end, data has been collected from domestic and foreign literature reviews and interviews. Based on the research results, this paper suggests developing several practical programs for promoting social exchanges and communication between North and South Koreans. In particular, this paper suggests the following: (1) adopting a bottom-up approach;(2) acknowledging the cultural differences between North and South Koreans and the diversity among the communicating subjects;(3) collaborating with the international community; and (4) implementing the program in phases. Ultimately, this study will contribute to achieving peaceful unification, and enhancing mutual understanding and cultural collectivity through sociocultural exchanges and communication between the two Koreas. © Research India Publications.
