This workshop brings together research on civil society accumulated through the SNUAC Civil Society and NGOs Program and the field-based activities of the Good Neighbors GPC Korea Office, with the aim of reflecting on and reconsidering the roles and practices of NGOs in a changing social environment. Focusing on key issues such as grassroots global citizenship and care democracy, the workshop provides an opportunity for both sides to share their perspectives and practical experiences, identify points of intersection between their respective practices, and explore new challenges for the future.
