The South Jeolla Province’s Haenam region has become one of the most popular areas in Korea for the growing number of people choosing to leave the cities and returning to the country’s rural areas to farm. Haenam’s Misae Village is a community of young farmers living and working together to build a new way of life. Join the International Strategy Center’s Monthly Open Lecture Series as we take part in the village’s farming, learn about why people are returning to the land, and speak with Misae’s villagers about their vision for farming and a more sustainable future.

ISC Lecture: Where Workers Rule - Woojin's Worker-Owned Bus Company

Date:

Saturday, May 16, 2015 - 14:00

In 2004, as Cheongju City’s Woojin Bus Company faced the threat of bankruptcy, its employees banded together to take control of the company, turning it into a worker-run, worker-managed enterprise. As labor conditions worsen in Korea, their story stands out as an important example of alternative ways to conceive and carry out labor that empowers workers. Join the ISC for our second “Open Lecture event” in May as we meet with them and listen to their story.
