The Background of the International Day of Peace
Peace BAR Festival 2016K Y U N G H E E U N I V E R S I T Y
The International Day and Year of Peace was established in 1981 by the United Nations under the proposal of Kyung Hee University. At the 6th Triennial Conference of the International Association of University Presidents in 1981, President Young Seek Choue of Kyung Hee University proposed the founding of the UN International Day and Year of Peace. The proposal was submitted to the UN as the Costa Rican Resolution by IAUP, and the UN established the International Day and Year of Peace at the 36th UN General Assembly on November 30 of the same year.
The UN General Assembly declared in its resolution 36/37 that the International Day of Peace has been established to “commemorate and strengthen the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples,” and invited “all Member States, organs and organizations of the United Nations system, regional organizations, non-governmental organizations, peoples and individuals to commemorate in an appropriate manner the International Day of Peace, especially through all means of education.” Since then, the UN proclaimed every third Tuesday of September as the ‘International Day of Peace’ (fixed to September 21st in 2001) and 1986 as the ‘International Year of Peace.’
The forecast of IAUP that the weakening of the Cold War system would contribute to world peace was timely. Around the time when the International Day and Year of Peace was being proposed, the tension between East and West also faced a new era with the proclamation of the International Year of Peace. On January 1, 1986, US President Reagan and Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev shared New Year’s greetings of peace to each other’s nation. The two countries then held disarmament talks to ban all ballistic missiles and made efforts to end regional conflicts, paving the way for peace.

Transformative Challenge: The Worlds of Human Mind and Planetary Engagement
‘In twenty years’, ‘In forty years’; these are emblematic phrases denoting the future of humanity at a crossroads. Would such time frame bring about cataclysmic changes beyond human control prognosticated by futurists, or a new future for the planetary civilization? Like Hamlet with his pending question: “To be or not to be” all of us living in the 21st century are confronted existentially with the question of the future of the earth.
Humanity is at a crossroads. Modern society is deeply embedded in the civilizational aporia that is the consequence of growth and expansion. Environmental degradation and depletion of resources, deepening human alienation and polarization, terror and violence, the establishment politics that has lost social confidence: All these issues are more than a half a century old but still with us, awaiting solutions.
The global community has of course attempted to confront these issues in different ways. Economic prescriptions based on efficiency, utility and growth; political responses to buttress these economic measures; and national policies founded on overriding utilitarian values – they have all been the ways in which the global community attempted to cope with the problems of modern civilization. Have they been successful? Sadly we gained prosperity only at the price degradation. We were able to grow only at the expense of uncertain future caused by crisis-prone economy. Is there no exit from this aporia? What must we do to pave a path toward a better future?
The Peace BAR Festival 2016 is an invitation to reflect on what can be done to ensure the future of human civilization. We propose to highlight the inner life of human beings in their quest for a new way of thinking. We aim to open new dimensions of discourse and practice for the future possibilities of human life world. Starting with the question of ‘What I am,’ can we envisage a better future in living with others in human society and with the planet earth? In raising questions such as these, we are in fact exploring the possibility of civilizational transformation. If this is indeed what is needed for the very survival and sustainable future of human kind and the planet earth, we must deepen our wisdom and courage for global collaboration. The survival of future generations is dependent on our doing so.
It is for this reason Kyung Hee University celebrates the 35th anniversary of the UN International Day of Peace by hosting the Peace BAR Festival 2016. Together with the Club of Rome, the Budapest Club, and the World Academy of Art and Science – all renowned for inspiring citizens to take responsibility of the future of the planet earth – we will be discussing our common future. We will thus be moving closer to a global network of discourse and practice to ensure sustainable future of humanity.

The Peace BAR Festival 2016 for commemorating the UN International Day of Peace is a gathering to reflect on the Transformative Challenge: The Worlds of Human Mind and Planetary Engagement. The conference brings leaders and members of the Club of Budapest, the Club of Rome, the World Academy of Art and Science, and intellectuals and youths of the Korean society, to discuss the sustainable future of the earth community. Human civilization is now at a crossroads, in which we face a bleak future if we do not establish a new relationship with our planet. Although we now, in this anthropocene age, feel a sense of control over our ecological environment, we are realizing that it is this very control that will cause our ultimate demise. The Peace BAR Festival 2016 provides a forum in which we can discuss the possibility of an existential revolution that may lie in our near future.

Peace BAR Festival 2016K Y U N G H E E U N I V E R S I T Y
Today we live in a world of immanent global disorder. We find no deliverance from the deep-seated ecological, social and political impasses to which the galloping growth economy worldwide brought us. We are drawn deeper into this quagmire. Does our paradigm of values make us blind to the new historical realities? The human society raced along the single trajectory of capitalist economy, endeavoring to face the aftermath of successive wars and chronic economic crises. However, today it is becoming increasingly clear that the rapidly expanding global economy and consumer society can no longer fit into the bounds of planet earth and human worlds. In place of diversity a civilization of global uniformity reigns supreme in the daily life of human beings everywhere. Korea is no exception. The apotheosis of the myth of the economy of growth and expansion overshadows all other human values. Along the line, the sky above us has become grey. Global warming is beginning to be intolerable. Suicide rate tops those of all other nations. Establishment politics seems as if it has lost confidence in handling the anguished cries of the youth and the underprivileged.
What to do? It seems quite evident that the problems of material civilization cannot be unraveled by materialism itself. What is needed is a major shift in human values, a progressive existential shift that transforms the old frame of reference. A new awakening of consciousness is indeed needed. Efforts have not been lacking to transform consciousness in finding solutions to the problematics facing our times. The Club of Rome, the Club of Budapest, the World Academy of Art and Science, and Kyung Hee University have done their parts, each its own way, to confront the problems facing humanity and the planet. Today these institutions come together as a collective mind in their search for alternative civic minds and the future of politics that can pave the way for surmounting global disorder. This is the aim of the Peace BAR Festival 2016 and of this Roundtable.

Humanity today faces critical challenges. The choice before us is either evolution or extinction. As Pope Francis encyclical, Laudato Si, suggests, unless we, the global community, can find ways to revitalize the healthiness of an integral ecology that incorporates mutually inter-connected human, social, and environmental ecological systems, the human species is not sustainable. The starting point for meeting these challenges is to awaken human minds to the need for radical change of course. This should necessarily lead to a quantum shift in the paradigm of education, especially university education. This Colloquium will provide a venue to reflect upon the reality which humanity confronts today and to envision our best course of action, including a new role for higher educational institutions as architects of the future.

Peace BAR Festival 2016K Y U N G H E E U N I V E R S I T Y
The multidimensional challenges confronting humanity today present compelling evidence of the need for a radical shift in global development theory, strategy and policy. Human relationships are the foundation for wealth creation, human security, well-being, civilization and culture. A new paradigm in human ecology envisions a shift from the exclusive preoccupation with quantitative macro-economic growth and mechanistic solutions to social problems to a targeted effort to maximize the benefits of development in terms of human dignity, security, welfare and well-being for all people. It seeks to generate and release human energy, creativity, dynamism and initiative, to foster positive relationships and provide effective avenues for the fullest expression of this human potential in action.

Colloquium Session IINew Paradigm in Social Ecology
Society is a vast, complex and ever-evolving network of organized human relationships. Organization is the core technology and central building block for development of society. Prevailing social theories tend to reduce our conception of society and organization to static, fragmented, mechanistic, materialistic theories and quantitative models. A new paradigm thinking should reflect the vibrantly alive, organic wholeness and integration of society and the evolutionary creative potential of organization for human development.

Colloquium Session IIINew Paradigm in Education
Peace BAR Festival 2016K Y U N G H E E U N I V E R S I T Y
Education is the most powerful instrument developed by humanity to promote its own conscious social evolution. Education draws on the cumulative experience of humanity over millennia and passes it on to future generations in a concentrated and abridged form so that each new generation can start off in possession of all the knowledge acquired by humanity in the past. But the increasingly rapid pace of social evolution makes it increasingly difficult for education to keep up with the advances of civilization. As a result, there is a growing time warp and gap between the type of education being offered and the needs of individuals and society. A new paradigm is needed to close the gap.
