Novosibirsk State University and Kim Il Sung University will hold a lecture series on Juche philosophy. The first lecture will be held on October 16 at 3:00 PM Novosibirsk time. It will be delivered in Russian by the dean of the North Korean university's philosophy department. Vladimir Diev, Director of the NSU Institute of Philosophy and Law, will moderate the meeting. The next two lectures are scheduled for October 21 and 23.
"Earlier this year, a delegation from Kim Il Sung University, North Korea's leading university, visited Novosibirsk State University. During the visit, representatives from the two universities agreed to intensify interuniversity cooperation. One of the key components of building effective collaboration is familiarization with the partner country's culture, as culture reflects a people's worldview and values. And the soul of culture, in turn, is philosophy, which examines the foundations of human activity. Therefore, to better understand partners from other countries, it is important to begin by studying philosophy and culture," commented Vladimir Diev.
Kim Il Sung University is interested in developing cooperation with Russian universities, particularly NSU and the Novosibirsk Scientific Center. The university is currently exploring the possibility and selecting a site for opening a representative office in Akademgorodok. The Russian side, in turn, is committed to strengthening the partnership.
"We've only just announced the lecture series, but 10 Russian universities have already expressed their willingness to join the online broadcast. Little is known about North Korean philosophy and culture in our country, so these lectures offer an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the unique way of life, traditions, and foundations of this country," added Evgeny Sagaydak, Head of the Education Export Department at NSU.
