Peace march held on Geoje island

The first such event held by the club was in October 2003 in Yanggu, Gangwon province.
The festivals are intended to promote visions of a world without war or hunger and where the environment and basic human rights are protected.
On Saturday afternoon, participants toured the former Geoje prisoner of war camp.
On Sunday, the main event ― the World Peace Parade ― took place. Participants walked about 10 kilometers (6 miles) along the island’s seaside road. Afterwards, a farewell ceremony was held, including a performance by the Korean Jodel Children’s Choir.
