How South Koreans remember tragedy through education
How South Koreans remember tragedy through education
In the wake of tragic events, whether caused by natural or human-made hazards, education has a critical role to play as a beacon of hope, a catalyst for healing, and a pathway to resilience (Park, 2020). As shattered communities and individuals grapple with the aftermath of their loss, important questions emerge for educators: How can education contribute to healing and rebuilding shattered lives? How does education provide a sense of hope and a pathway to a brighter future in the face of tragedy? What should we teach and learn about tragedy to build resilience and advance disaster justice? In this blog, we describe and reflect on our experience as ‘disaster educators’ and share how South Korean society has responded to a major disaster through education.

How South Koreans remember tragedy through education.
Abstract
In the wake of tragic events, whether caused by natural or human-made hazards, education has a critical role to play as a beacon of hope, a catalyst for healing, and a pathway to resilience (Park, 2020). As shattered communities and individuals grapple with the aftermath of their loss, important questions emerge for educators: How can education contribute to healing and rebuilding shattered lives? How does education provide a sense of hope and a pathway to a brighter future in the face of tragedy? What should we teach and learn about tragedy to build resilience and advance disaster justice? In this blog, we describe and reflect on our experience as ‘disaster educators’ and share how South Korean society has responded to a major disaster through education.
