The Brazil Municipal Chapter (head: Park Dae kun) held a lecture for the next generation on Feb. 6 and 7 at Bristol Hotel in Victoria and YU COZINHA in Curitiba. It was the first local event of its kind by the Brazil Municipal Chapter of NUAC to remind Koreans living in Brazil of their national identity.

The lecture was given to 50 young Koreans from 40 households in Victoria, and 80 from 100 households in Curitiba, Brazil. Park Dae Kun, head of the Municipal Chapter, a NUAC member Na Seong-ju, and Park Nam-geun, President of the Korean’s Association in Brazil, attended.

Municipal Chapter secretary Kim Hong-seop, who is fluent in Portuguese, explained the national identity and the view of history in Korea, economic situation in the country, and necessity of the unification of the Korean peninsula. 

Other programs were also held to introduce Korea to the attendants, such as “War Brutality of Japan and Resurrection of Militarism,” “Erasing the History of Comfort Women by Japan,” and “Dokdo Island Is Our Land.” A NUAC member Na Seong-ju demonstrated to the young Koreans living in Brazil how to write their names in Korean.
