Volunteer Teams of Airport Guide, Drivers, Interpreters, Media, Medical, Security and Installation Dedicated to the Safe and Successful International Event

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A grand-scale peace event was held in South Korea from September 18 to 20 with stable operation and participants’ satisfaction. Themed “Implementation of Multidimensional Strategies for Institutional Peace,” the world peace event hosted by Heavenly Culture, World Peace, Restoration of Light (HWPL) with the contribution of 2,000 volunteers was set to welcome over 800 global leaders from 121 countries representing diverse sectors including politics, education, youth, women, media, and religion from around the globe.

At the heart of this grand occasion was the dedicated Airport Team, working tirelessly to ensure the smooth arrival and departure of participants. Their responsibilities spanned from issuing visas to ticketing, guaranteeing the safety of participants, and even handling unforeseen flight disruptions. In their unwavering commitment to safety and order, they left no stone unturned to ensure a seamless airport experience for all.

The skilled drivers from the HWPL Convoy Team as another group of volunteers undertook meticulous vehicle inspections to transport the participants with comfort and safety. Their professionalism and dedication left a lasting impression on visitors. The total distance driven by volunteer drivers during the event was approximately 800,000 km, or spinning 20 times of the globe.

Volunteer interpreters also played a vital role in facilitating communication in sessions of the summit. Their commitment to connecting communications ensured a meaningful experience for all involved. 800 guests participating in over 30 sessions required interpretation. And all materials have to be translated into over 20 languages. HWPL’s interpretation and translation volunteers are carrying out this entire process to facilitate efficient communication throughout the event.

The broadcast media team, consisting of 208 volunteers, worked to capture and convey the essence of the summit to a global audience. The results of the summit serve as a powerful tool for spreading a culture of peace, making this event accessible to people around the world in various languages.

The medical department prepared a wide range of emergency medicines, from simple digestive medicines, to this event. They are all active doctors, oriental medicine doctors, nurses, volunteering to contribute to peace. Team leader of the Medical Department explained, “Because it is an event held by a private organization, many people do not know whether a medical team is prepared.” At the same time, he added that guest-room-visit for medical checks were also conducted.

All staff in the Security Department, which is responsible for the safety of personnel, are not professional security guards but 400+ volunteers made up of able-bodied men and women who have gathered for peace after appropriate education, training and active simulation beginning from March.

The installation team was responsible for the critical infrastructure necessary to make the event a success. They handled electrical setups, stage installations, and maintenance throughout the event, ensuring a seamless experience for attendees.

The volunteers of HWPL were driven by their passion for peace, and have worked tirelessly to support the peace summit.

HWPL, a South Korea-based international peace NGO affiliated with the UN ECOSOC and the UN DGC, has carried out global peace movements for world peace and cessation of war since its foundation in 2013.
