28/04/2016 - Korean Culture through Systemic Constellations

WHEN: 28 April 2016, 18:00–20:00

WHERE: MUP Prague-Strašnice building, Dubečská 900/10, room 305

This seminar focuses on the socio-cultural aspects of South Korea and how Korean socio-cultural environment differs from the environment in the Czech Republic. As Korea belongs among emotional and high-context cultures, if people want to better understand the local environment, it is crucial to feel the culture, rather than acquire the knowledge of facts. Through the method of systemic constellations, this seminar aims to help Korean non-citizens feel the key concepts of Korean culture and societal organization, such as hierarchy principle, collectivism and group cohesion, importance of ancestors, and particularistic ties. Seminar participants are going to actively participate in systemic constellations focusing on the mentioned aspects of Korean socio-cultural environment and the emotional difference between Korean and Czech cultures.
