Kyungpook National University (President Heo Youngwoo) will host the '2025 Kyungpook National University Green Life Festa' on October 18, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., at the university's student parking lot.
This event, organized as part of the Daegu RISE (Regional Innovation System for University Support) project, is co-hosted by Kyungpook National University (Regional Community Contribution Center, College of Veterinary Medicine Student Council, Daegu RISE Project Group) and the Dalgubeol Good Life Council.
The venue is designed for citizens to participate in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) experiences, enjoy activities related to companion animals, and practice zero waste. It will be divided into six zones: Stage Program, Eco Lounge, Pet Social Lounge, Good Life Lounge, Green Healing Lounge, and Upcycling Playground.
The stage program will feature the 'Green Stage' performance by local young artists and a celebratory performance by Daegu Concert House. There will also be a variety of attractions, including a companion animal health seminar, a "Wait" contest, and recreational activities for pets.
At the Eco Lounge, 25 teams from local social economy enterprises and small and medium-sized businesses will exhibit and sell green products and services.
The Pet Social Lounge will offer free health consultations for companion animals, eco-friendly pet product workshops, and booths encouraging the adoption of stray animals. Career and academic counseling from the College of Veterinary Medicine will also be available.
The Good Life Lounge will showcase the ESG activities of the Dalgubeol Good Life Council, which includes nine universities, public institutions, and companies including Kyungpook National University, along with citizen participation programs.
The Green Healing Lounge will feature a cafeteria using reusable containers and a vegan dining food court. The Upcycling Playground will provide family-friendly programs such as an upcycled playground made from recycled materials and a maze challenge.
In particular, this event aims to practice zero waste by minimizing on-site carbon emissions through the use of reusable structures, eco-friendly battery power, and promotional materials printed with soy ink.
Jang Yuri, Director of the Regional Community Contribution Center at Kyungpook National University, stated, "The 2025 Kyungpook National University Green Life Festa is a venue for experiencing a sustainable green future created jointly by the university and the local community." She added, "We hope this event will serve as an opportunity for citizens and young people to incorporate environmental practices into their daily lives."
