Very impressive, well-represented students!

Let us check the outdoor activities.

Green Festival is at the peak of activities.
Let us check out every booth one by one.

 

 

The first one is ‘Standby Power ZERO KOREA’.

Through panel exhibition, the real condition of standby power was introduced, and it also gave people the chance to think about how we can save the standby power.

 

 

On the ‘Standby Power ZERO CAMPUS’ booth, students can have the opportunity to learn about standby power and saving practices more easily through various fun activities like Speed Game and 3D Earth Puzzle Game.

 

 

The second booth was ‘Human Power, You Are the Energy’.
In this corner, people can make yummy fruit sherbet by working pedals of self-generation electricity bicycle.
We can see the bright smiles on the faces of students. Its popularity was beyond the imagination.

 

 

Strawberry sherbet is coming~ looks so yummy!
One and only sherbet that I made by my own energy, working pedals.

 

 

So-called ‘Human Power, You Are the Energy’.
Definitely the greatest energy source is we, human, it’s our body power.

 

 

The third booth is ‘Story of Global Warming’.
Through the photo exhibition, this corner acknowledged us the seriousness of global warming.

 

 

Telling what will be caused by the global warming during next 100 years makes students shocked and felt that global warming is not a joke.
So before it’s too late, we must act!
The fourth booth was ‘Together Let Us Make Our Earth Good’.
And this booth, we can make eco-friendly handkerchief.

 

 

It’s sooooooooooooo cute!
No more paper cup! WE WANT MUG!
Yes, definitely! There are so many things we can practice in our real lives.
Let us all use mugs, NEVER use paper cups!

 

 

Everyone, have you noticed how much we can save the resources and energy just by using the handkerchief?

 

 

Let us save the earth as we use these pretty eco-handkerchiefs we made by our own today.

 

 

And in this corner, we can also make eco-friendly T-shirts.

Eco-T-shirts are made of natural paint.

 

 

And this natural paint is made from spinach. Its green color naturally comes from spinach.
Harmless to human body, and also good at color formation.
And above all it is good for the nature! It’s truly nature itself.
Nature always gives us all the good things.

 

 

Not only Eco-T-shirts, but also Eco-bags, so much fun indeed!

 

And also eco-friendly air freshener! Wow! So many students line up!
Everyone is definitely enjoying!

 

 

I can smell fresh lemon~

 

 

Then, what’s in the next booth?

In the fifth booth, Green Energy Experience, you can have quizzes, and also you can cook with solar power cooker.

 

 

By using solar power, natural energy, we can cook!
Fortunately, May 23rd was full of sunshine!
I can see they are boiling with the help of sun~

 

 

Yummy quail eggs cooked by sun~
Do you want some?

 

 

It’s hot, hot, hot. Be careful! 

The first day of forum was rounded off, and the second day began.
The second day of forum, which is May 24th, consisted with Talk4NETWORK Session and Closing Ceremony.

 

 

Talk4NETWORK Session is literally for talking about the ‘Network’ which is very essential for all.
In this session, Secretary General of Daejayon, and Jung Su-jin, Vice-president of KGCAUS, were invited to share their opinions with other panels.

 

The most impressive word of Jung Su-jin, Vice-president of KGCAUS was
"Think within the Network and Act on one’s Campus"
Literally means ‘think together within the network, but act on one’s campus first’.
This phrase emphasizes the importance of online network considering various circumstances of university students, and also stresses the practical activities on the campus each student is belonging to.
Huge role of strong online network of KGCAUS gives this opinion the reason and the ground.
Around 50 clubs from universities inside of Korea have joined KGCAUS, and in this forum, KGCAUS members also participated.
Good job on your presentation!

  

Green Campus Movement should be led by university students in their own universities.
Plus! with whom?
It’s definitely with Daejayon!
Here, Daejayon is reporting in the site where we can hear the voices of university students.
Let us all together~ DAEJAYON~ GOGOGO!!
