Be an Activist for a Good Life ABC

This event was a public program led by Greenpeace East Asia Seoul, a participating artist group in the 10th Seoul Mediacity Biennale Eu Zên.

Greenpeace East Asia (GPEA) Seoul Office is a part of the East Asian regional office of a global environmental NGO, Greenpeace, founded in 1971. Greenpeace East Asia firstly opened an office in Hong Kong in 1997, followed by the opening of the office in Beijing in 2002, Taipei in 2010, and Seoul in 2011. GPEA conducts diverse campaigns to address global climate change crisis, promote energy transition, and protect the environment of the East Asian region.

Greenpeace has conducted a variety of campaigns over the past 47 years with the support of the citizens to protect the environment and move the society toward a sustainable future. Be an Activist for a Good Life ABC is a compressed form of the existing Greenpeace training programs for the members of the organization: Basic Campaign Training and Non-Violent Direction Action Training. For this event, they reduced the original program into a short 3-hour program for public citizens. This program is intended to provide the citizens an arena where they could discuss the diverse conditions required for a better life: how we can strategically approach unjustifiable problems and resolve them; how we can make changes in a peaceful way; and how we can draw the attention and support of the public at large
