This summer, Nodutdol is proud to have three young women in an 8-week internship program led by four Nodutdol members. As part of the National Coalition to End the Korean War, the interns launched a Peace treaty blog called “Unlearn War, Proliferate Peace” on July 2, 2009. This will be a public blog of personal testimonies, current news, multimedia, and creative arts about information and subjects related to the Koreas with an emphasis on the Peace Treaty Campaign.

Along with the blog, they are also working on a Peace Treaty toolkit which will include tools for the public to create their own Peace Treaty organizations, information on the peace treaty, outreach strategies, and how to facilitate workshop sessions.

There will also be an event on July 25, 2009 to commemorate the signing of the armistice on July 27, 1953. Information for this event will be forthcoming so please save the date!
The Nodutdol interns would like to thank the Nodutdol community and members for making this internship a success as well as the financial contributions that were given to aid this program.
