International Youth Forum on
Historical Reconciliation in East Asia

Background
In recent decades, while Europe and other parts of the world have been rapidly strengthening regional cooperation and integration, East Asia confronts barriers in advancing this goal. Many countries in East Asia have yet to settle territorial and historical disputes with neighboring regions, as the pernicious issue of contested history continues to paralyze on-going efforts to build mutual understanding and trust.
The Korean National Commission for UNESCO (KNCU) has organized a series of expert-level international forums on historical reconciliation. This year’s Youth Forum is an extension of such efforts to promote historical dialogues among the youth. The International Youth Forum will serve as a platform for individuals from various backgrounds to share their ideas and inspirations on relevant historical issues, so as to contribute to historical reconciliation and better prepare youths to understand and (cohabitate/collaborate) with others in the global community.

Objectives
To explore new visions and ideas for historical reconciliation in East Asia, with particular regard to the role of youths
To promote understanding of achievements and challenges of historical reconciliation efforts in East Asia and other regions
