Korea University (KU) is holding a two-lecture series for ¡°changemakers¡± – ¡°those who wish to change the world by solving social problems,¡± the first of which was held May 17, 2023 by the KU alumni and CEO of Ashoka Korea Lee Hae-young. Ashoka is a company that seeks ¡°changemakers¡± worldwide who devise innovative solutions to solve problems in their community or society, to whom Ashoka designates the ¡°Ashoka fellow¡± title and grants support for their projects.
Lee introduced seven different Ashoka fellows and detailed their solutions that range from using a baby as a teacher to reduce school violence tendencies to replacing dragnets used in the fishing industry with ¡°3D Farming¡± to preserve the ecosystem. Lee also described Ashoka¡¯s efforts to discover innovators and answered questions based on her experience and lessons learned from working in Ashoka for a decade. ¡°Ultimately, if we as individuals living in a system don¡¯t change¡¦it doesn¡¯t matter if the system or laws change,¡± Lee said.
The next lecture will be held at SK Future Hall Room 504, on May 31, 2023, 4:30 P.M. by the CEO of Innosociallab.
