As critical thinkers, change-makers, innovators, communicators and leaders, the young generation is increasingly engaging with each other on a number of platforms both online and offline. Provided with the necessary knowledge and opportunities needed to reach their potential, young people can be a driving force for promoting sustainability in this new era of globalization.

CIFAL Jeju / JITC organizes a number of programs including international youth workshops, forums, and Global Citizenship Education (GCED) to invite Korean foreign students alike to understand the commonality of the global issues and to become active promoters of more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure, and sustainable societies.

Jeju International Future Generation Forum
The Forum aims to foster youth global leadership by promoting actionable engagement in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals. Participating young leaders take the in-depth discussion on up-to-date issues such as youth employment, education development and health and well-being. The youth are given unique opportunities not only to build collective minds but also to vitalize city diplomacy by building a hub of social networking through cultural exchange.

Jeju International Youth Forum
CIFAL Jeju organized Jeju International Youth Forum from 2016 to 2021 with the aim to promote Jeju to the world and to connect talented teenage youth across the globe. The event was conducted with a focus on strengthening the leadership skills of the talented young people, exchanging different perspectives on critical global issues and enhancing the cultural understanding of each other.

The Global Citizenship Education (GCED) programs in Seogwipo City and Jeju City reached 1,512 students from 20 schools and institutions in 2023, achieving a high satisfaction rate of 4.92 out of 5. The initiative benefited elementary, middle, and high school students, and also targeted young adults from Jeju Island to cultivate their understanding on global issues. The specific topics covered include the UN SDG issues such as human rights, poverty, and environmental sustainability as well as multiculturalism.


The GCED programs could enable students and youth to grow to be global citizens through their exposure to various global issues. JITC will continue to serve to nurture young generation to be advocates for the UN SDGs.
