[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Asan Nanum Foundation (Chairman Han Jeong-hwa) announced on the 29th that it will hold the '2020 N_FORUM' online. The N_FORUM, held on the 21st of next month, is an event voluntarily planned by alumni of Asan Nanum Foundation's nonprofit specialized education program 'Asan Frontier Academy.'

Lecturers include Professor Choi Young-jun of Yonsei University, Director Yoo Jong-il of KDI School of Public Policy and Management, and Professor Lim Dong-gyun of Seoul National University. Director Son Jeong-hwa of Raphael International will conduct real-time Q&A with the discussants.
The second part focuses on case studies of how current activists are coping with changes in the field. Lectures will be given by Seo Hyun-seon, CEO of Ginger Tea Project; Jo So-dam, CEO of Dotface; Hwang Jeong-hoe, teacher at Indie School; and Kwon Oh-hyun, CEO of Parti.
This N_FORUM, held online, can be registered for through the official website and will be simultaneously broadcast on YouTube.

Now that a future once only imagined has become reality, I hope that through N_FORUM, we can discuss the new challenges facing the nonprofit sector and find ways to move forward together."
