Jeonju World Slowness Forum and Awards 2019

South Korean National Network

JEONJU: Colored with a Good Life It is to respect nature and to educate our children how to be happy that humanity really needs now, not economic prosperity. As bees and flowers need each other, in the 21st century all we really need now is a good and decent life that is a long-cherished desire of human beings. As all matter is composed of atoms and symmetrical, all of them need balance. However we are often too much on one side and lose easily our balance. Cittaslow Jeonju, a town of slowness and happiness invites you to the symposium to seek out the wisdom from people of the zeitgeist for happiness. All we hope you show lots of attention and support for it.
