We and Taiwan students shared some female role models who overcame prejudices about women. We introduced Park seri, Susan Ahn Cuddy and Kim Yuna to Taiwan students, emphasizing their careers deserve respect regardless of gender. I was able to realize the importance of the theme of gender equality again by seeing women in Korea and Taiwan who have achieved their own achievements despite prejudice.

Second Meeting
We shared and communicated comfortably about things that impressed us during our school life recently. After that, we introduced women who changed the prejudice of society. By introducing women such as Kim Yuna, Yun Yeo-jeong, and Pak Se-ri who broke the frame set by society and surprised the world, I was motivated to break out of the frame set for me. Through this activity, I further strengthened the idea that such prejudice and discrimination are extremely absurd. It has not been easy to get to know Taiwanese women, but we get to know Taiwanese women and famous words they said. So, I think it was a good opportunity.
We knew the tries to chabge the gender streotypes by introducing female role model. I think this time that is meaningful to share the information.
First Meeting
Today, we discussed the barriers and limitations of gender biases in our two nations. We got some ice breaking time freely sharing our stories about our school lives and gender equality last time. And we talked about the cases of gender discrimination that can be seen in each country. It was very interesting to see how traditional gender roles played a part in shaping our societies. We thought that the interaction between two countries played a major role in developing a global perspective. Through this activity, we were able to introduce and hear about gender bias in each country. It is usually difficult to discuss these topics with other countries, but it was good to get to know each other through this opportunity. By meeting with them, we weren’t only that sharing our thinking but also correcting a false notion. Through this activity, we could get a more balanced view of the subject. It was very interesting time to know that there are some differences in cognition of gender each country.
We are looking forward to meeting my Taiwanese friends at the next meeting!!
