The Miwon Lectures provide opportunity for renowned international scholars, world leaders, and practitioners to put forth new visions for how we can build a society for human civilization, and open a peaceful future. “Miwon” is the pen name of the late Young Seek Choue, the founder of Kyung Hee University and tireless advocate of peace.
