A Glimpse into IWPG Daejeon Branch’s “Let’s Peace” Event

On the 1st, the Daejeon branch of IWPG (International Women’s Peace Group) held its “Let’s Peace” event at the Jeongnim Warehouse Bonta Café. Although it’s an annual year-end gathering, the atmosphere this year was just as heartwarming, filled with active participation.

The event was organized to support the “Peace-Loving Drawing International Contest” and to raise year-end funds for underprivileged youth in the local community.

The venue featured an exhibition of past award-winning artworks, a charity concert, youth performances, and booths offering food and daily necessities. With over 300 attendees, it became a meaningful gathering where people of all ages came together to share a culture of peace.

The funds raised through the event will be used to support the upcoming 8th Peace-Loving Drawing International Contest and underprivileged youth next year.

Kim Hwa-jeong, the head of the IWPG Daejeon branch, expressed her gratitude, saying, “It is deeply meaningful to help children and teenagers imagine and depict peace instead of conflict.”

She added a request for continued support next year so that children can freely express their imagination for peace.

A North Korean defector performance group also participated, making the event even more meaningful. They shared that they wanted to support IWPG’s peace efforts despite the divided reality of the Korean Peninsula, receiving warm applause from the audience.

IWPG is a global women’s NGO registered with UN ECOSOC and DGC, operating 115 branches across 122 countries. With the vision of achieving sustainable world peace, IWPG actively promotes women’s peace education, peace culture, and global support for the legalization of the DPCW (Declaration of Peace and Cessation of War).

Thanks to the “Let’s Peace” event, it was a heartwarming reminder of the value of peace within our community. I hope even more people will join next year to spread the culture of peace further.
