About this festival

제13회 21세기 인문가치포럼은 '흔들리는 세계, 변하지 않는 것들'을 주제로 안동국제컨벤션센터 및 안동시 일원에서 3일간 펼쳐지는 인문 문화 행사이다. 개회식 기조강연과 인문가치대상 시상식으로 막을 올리고, 폐회식에서는 안동선언문을 선포하며 대미를 장식한다. 국내외 석학과 시민이 함께하는 주제·대중·참여형 세션은 물론, 전시·체험 프로그램과 투어, 네트워킹 행사를 통해 관람객이 직접 보고 걷고 교류하며 인문가치를 체감할 수 있도록 구성했다. 지난 10여 년간 한국의 전통문화를 오늘날의 보편적 가치로 확장해 온 이 행사는 올해 전쟁과 평화, 기억과 기록, AI와 기술 등 동시대의 화두를 함께 나누며, 약 5,000명이 참여하는 온·오프라인 동시 진행 행사로 열린다.

T-money card

Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.

Maps

Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
