Following the UN’s proclamation of the International Year of Human Rights Learning, this Spring issue of SangSaeng features the theme of “Human Rights Education: From Knowledge to Action” with example cases of various forms of human rights education in practice in the Asia Pacific accompanied by stories of ethnic traditions and the arts. Especially, the article “In Aiming for a ‘Global Asia,’ Diversity is a Challenge” reminds us of the formidable task of establishing mutual understanding of other cultures within the region. Additionally, “The World Tree: Traditional Knowledge” makes the Asian mind and spirit more tangible and conveys a refreshing perspective of the world as a tree.
