The SNU GSIS Brain Korea 21 Program (BK21 Four) and the SNU GSIS Development Cooperation Policy Program (DCPP) invite you to its first Global Development Forum (GDF) from 20:00 (KST) on February 8th. The GDF aims to provide an open and interactive forum to promote dialogue among leaders, officers, specialists, and hands-on workers of governments from more than a dozen countries, alongside selected GSIS BK21 graduate students. Through the forum, the GDF expects to create an exchange of insights from practitioners of the policy-making level and junior scholars of academia. The forum encompasses diverse issues of international development with a yearly theme that discussions will be platformed upon. As our first forum, this year's focus is on 'Development and Gender Issues.' Issue areas will be divided into four panels: 1. Women's Economic Empowerment through Business; 2. Migration, Labor and Employment from Gender Perspective; 3. Gender in Politics, Participation, and Representation; and 4. Promoting Gender Equality in Education and Social Reproduction.

Please refer to the following event information, as well as the GDF program attached, for more details.
