As one of public awareness activities under the Yellow Sea
Partnership (http://www.yslme.org/partnership/)
, the “Korea NGO Workshop” was held in Ansan, Korea, 15-16 June 2006 to promote
co-operation with local NGOs. More than 30 participants from over 12 NGOs, 1
government-affiliated institution, and 3 international organisations and
projects attended the workshop. It was the second time for the YSLME Project to
host this kind of workshop, targeting NGOs; the first Yellow Sea Partnership
Workshop was organised in Beijing, China, in March 2006.
The representatives of the Korean local NGOs as well as the international
organisations made presentations on their activities with respect to
environmental conservation in the Yellow Sea. The PMO also presented the Yellow
Sea Partnership and introduced the results of its first workshop in China. The
meeting then discussed how to strengthen the co-operation between Korean NGOs
and the Yellow Sea Partnership.
As a result of the Workshop, the meeting reaffirmed the importance of
co-operation and agreed to further consider the areas and activities in which to
collaborate. The participating NGOs confirmed that they will have another
meeting to discuss specific joint activities. For more information, please see
the report of the Workshop which will be available soon online at:
