남북정상회담과 사회문화교류

Abstract

The exchange of visits by the performing arts groups between the two Koreas, which took place in 10 years after the PyeongChang Olympics, attracted a great deal of attention as a large-scale socio-cultural exchange project. In the inter-Korean summit, the various social and cultural exchanges including the reunion of separated families are mentioned as the main agenda. As the North Korean nuclear issue is settled and the Panmunjom Declaration is agreed, it is highly likely that the inter-Korean summit will be activated from social and cultural exchanges with relatively little political burden. However, if there is no reflection on social and cultural exchanges in the past, the problems will be repeated and the meaning of social and cultural exchanges can be discarded. More than ever, it is more necessary to establish a road map for concrete analysis of past cases and developmental exchanges. In this context, several basic directions are needed for the development of socio - cultural exchanges. First, it is necessary to construct a nation-wide community by securing common elements on the basis of recognizing the difference between North and South through social and cultural exchange. Second, social and cultural exchange and cooperation should be promoted in terms of accumulation of understanding and trust formation process. Third, the development of inter-Korean relations and the exchange of socio-cultural culture should be institutionalized. Fourth, it should be a process of expanding democracy and establishing a peace culture in the South Korean society while leading the overall development of the inter-Korean society culture. Fifth, the public and the government should cooperate under the gradual and gradual direction to realize integration in all areas.
