This is Ha-young Lee, participating in the Global Camp of Ganghwa Girls’ High School in 2018. I entered Ganghwa Girls' High School this year and am participating in a global camp for the first time. Ganghwa girl's high school global issues forum in 2018 is an event held in schools to develop dreams and talents and to provide opportunities for students to grow into a global leader with creativity and character. It plans to post student’s writing on Wikipedia about Goryeo dynasty’s masterpiece like history, foreign policy, art, education, trade, science and technology, literature to celebrate 1,100th years of the foundation of Goryeo. This year's camp will last for three days from July 25 to July 27.
The Global Camp at Ganghwa Girls' High School is sponsored by the Academy of Korean Studies. So we can have the advantage of more systematic camps and native English teachers. I live in the area called Ganghwa, an island in Incheon, in Korea and have little chance to meet and study native English teachers in Ganghwa. So I apply global issues forum in 2018, because I thought that I can enhance my english speaking ability by speaking with native teachers through this global camp. And this year is the 1,100th year anniversary of Goryeo, and Ganghwa Island, the region where I live, has become the capital of Goryeo under the authoritarian regime, so it has a strong connection with Goryeo, thus I am interested in the topic. I attend Political diplomacy team in the global camp on the subject of the measures for Unified Korea on the basis and the interactive policy in Goryeo Dynasty.
I have chosen politics, the subject most closely associated with my future career prosecutor, to join the political and diplomatic team. Since my dream is being a prosecutor I should be familiar with politics, and my exploration of politics through this camp could be helpful when I became a prosecutor in the future. The reason why our team chose the measures for Unified Korea based on the diplomacy and the internal policy in Goryeo Dynasty into the topic is that we think it was more meaningful to explore a topic that could be linked to current society than just passing on information about politics and diplomacy from the Goryeo Dynasty.
Prior to this camp, I knew about Taejo Wang Gun's diplomacy and politics under the theme of The measures for Unified Korea based on the digital policy and the internal policy in Guryeo Dynasty. I was a member of R&E as an official club. A few days ago, I participated in the 110-year anniversary of Goryeo Dynasty under the theme ' the proposal of system of unified society based on the policy of Taejo Wang Gun of the Goryeo Dynasty ' so I know Taejo Wang Gun's foreign policies and domestic policies such as public sentiment policy, local inspector general policy and the bestowal of name system. Also, in our school, we learned Korean history, I know Gwangjong's policies such as Civil Service Examination, the slave review law, and King Sungjong's policies regarding Article 28.
After, I wrote the measures for Unified Korea based on the diplomacy and the internal policy in Goryeo Dynasty I learned the fact that King Gwangjong named the capital ‘Gae-kyeong’ into ‘Hwangdo’ and he used the name of reign period ‘Gwangdeok’ to promote diplomatic relations with the North song, and Wang Gun wrote a friendly policy for Silla, and that he used a double-faced policy for the Hubaekje. In the political and diplomatic team, I was a vice leader, and wrote the internal policies of Taejo Wang Gun and Gwangjong. And I reviewed the contents of King Taejo, Gwangjong, and SeongJong and modified partially. I also provided the idea to come up with a theme now when choosing a topic and translated Kwang-jong's domestic policy into English. I hope my English ability will improve through this global camp, and through the process of researching and studying about a topic like this, my thought ability, writing skill, and background are developed more. Participating in the global camp was a meaningful experience to have an opportunity to explore Goryeo in a deeper way. I will definitely participate in the next global camp.
