For the first time ever in the history of KASCON, we are inviting a group of Korean student leaders from our motherland Korea to have a constructive debate on the political, cultural, and social issues that affect both generations. The purpose of this debate panel is to enhance the understanding between the two and to reconcile the differences by openly sharing ideas and experiences. We hope this special debate panel will mark a pivotal moment in promoting a new partnership and unity of the two young Korean generations and thus, empowering the entire Korean Diaspora.
