국립묘지로 떠나는 평화·통일 현장체험학습

Abstract

The 'Korean Peninsula Peace tourism' is a practice of reflecting on the patterns and reasons for the violence experienced by people living on the Korean Peninsula and raising hope that peace can be realized on the Korean Peninsula. At schools, it is conducted in the form of field experience learning in places related to peace and unification. In order to promote school peace and unification field experience learning, it is necessary to break away from the inertia of visiting only areas near the DMZ and discover various field experience learning locations close to schools. In this article, first, we theoretically explained why the ‘National Cemetery of the Republic of Korea’ can be a good place for peace and unification field experience learning based on the fluidity of placeness and the multidimensionality of violence on the Korean Peninsula. Next, we presented facilities worth noting at the National Cemetery for Overseas Koreans and Daejeon National Cemetery and topics that teachers and students there could talk about in relation to peace and unification. Through this work, the goal of this article is to contribute to the revitalization of ‘local peace tourism’ that contemplate peace and unification near schools, focusing on the memories of individuals, families, and regions.
