This business aims to realize the popularization of humanities in the area, utilizing the world-class cultural heritage in Iksan and create a city in which ‘cultural welfare’ can be realized, doing the business in connection to the local government’s cultural policies.
This business organization suggests this as the theme, “Humanities Renaissance, Dadaiksan – Historic Ancient City Iksan” and would proceed with the plan for the implementation of goals by stage: ‘Humanities Sympathy Iksan’ in Year 1; ‘Humanities Revival Iksan’ in Year 2; and ‘Humanities Capital Iksan’ in Year 3, differing characteristics by year.
<Year 1: ‘Humanities Sympathy Iksan’>
In Year 1, spaces are prepared for humanities lectures, experiences and festivals to take a view of 2000-year-old ancient city Iksan’s historic value and value as a world heritage designated by UNESCO from humanities perspective, so that Iksan citizens can form a bond of sympathy for humanities. Also, it allows them to look back on the value of modern life and develop a humanistic mind through which they can affirm their lives.
<Year 2: ‘Humanities Revival Iksan’>
Year 2 is set as a period of humanities revival, and programs that can spread humanistic atmosphere throughout Iksan are actively promoted. Lectures are offered, which can cultivate the altruistic spirit and consciousness of humanities community that Iksan citizens must have as members of a civil society from practical perspective. To do so, programs are provided, which can root down sound commonsense and win-win social spirit in the entire society.
<Year 3: ‘Humanities Capital Iksan’>
In Year 3, based on the programs in Years 1 and 2, Iksan is made to be born again as a humanities capital. Humanities lectures seek a direction of advancement of civic consciousness and prepare lectures that take a view of Iksan’s future so that the citizens can establish pride and local identity. Humanities experiences and festivals, too, are going to strengthen the image of humanities capital, Iksan by implementing various programs that can discover and integrate humanistic spirit in daily life and works of art.
