Dear : all international students~


Want to use your korean and perform on a global platform? KISSA welcomes you to join the Yeosu Expo 2012 which is going to be held from May 12th to August 12th, 2012.


<><><><><><>
Introduction
Following the Daejeon Expo in 1993, the Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea is the nation’s second expo to be recognized by the BIE (Bureau of International Exhibitions). The expo’s seaside Yeosu City venue highlights the main focus of the expo: the ocean and its value as a natural resource.


Exhibition centers of the Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea include the Theme Center, Korea Center, Sub-theme Center (Climate Change & Environment, Ocean Industry & Technology, Ocean Civilization, Ocean City and Ocean Creatures), International Center, and Aquarium. Each center has its own unique color and contents that expand upon the grand theme of the expo, “The Living Ocean and Coast.”


The 2012 Expo Yeosu Korea will serve as a timely reminder to the global community of the value of the sea, which is closely linked to the very existence of the human race. Many also hope that the expo will be a chance for nations to come together and discuss a new, unified vision for the world’s ocean environment.
Programs
Theme CenterThe Theme Center is the nation’s first floating ocean structure. The two-story floating center is located in front of the Expo Venue and is said to best represent the expo’s theme of “The Living Ocean and Coast.”


Korea Center The Korea Center is designed with beautiful curves that embody the Korean flag (Taegeuk) while representing value of the balance between fullness and emptiness. The center will remain in use even after the Expo is finished and will continue to play a role in sharing the traditional shapes and colors of Korea with global audiences.


Sub-theme Center As its name suggests, the Sub-theme Center is where the sub themes of the expo are explained and displayed in more detail. The center is divided into different sections such as Climate Change, Ocean Industry & Technology, Ocean Civilization/City, and Ocean Creatures around the Big-O.


Ocean Industry & Technology Center
This center focuses on the global development of a “blue economy” through the advancement of ocean industries and technology. The center seeks to show visitors the tremendous importance of the future of the ocean industry and its ability to create significant employment and other opportunities.

Morreu histórico dirigente João Carrascalão


O histórico dirigente timorense João Carrascalão morreu hoje aos 65 anos, em Díli, informou à agência Lusa a embaixadora de Timor-Leste em Portugal e sua irmã, Natália Carrascalão.
Líder histórico da União Democrática Timorense (UDT), João Carrascalão era atualmente o embaixador de Timor-Leste em Seul (Coreia do Sul), cargo que exercia desde 2009.
Natália Carrascalão estava a caminho de Timor-Leste, quando, numa escala em Singapura, foi "surpreendida com a notícia".

A embaixadora adiantou à Lusa que João Carrascalão morreu "há umas horas" e que se encontrava bem de saúde, apesar dos conhecidos problemas cardíacos e de diabetes. "Não tinha nada de muito especial e ainda ontem [quinta-feira] esteve num jantar", referiu, acrescentando que ainda não tem indicações sobre o funeral do irmão.

João Viegas Carrascalão fundou e dirigiu a UDT - primeiro partido a ser criado em Timor-Leste após 1974 e o fim do domínio colonial português - durante muitos anos. Era desde 1993 o presidente do Conselho Superior Político, órgão responsável pela direção política do partido, pela execução da estratégia traçada pelo Congresso e pela fiscalização política das atividades de todos os órgãos da UDT.
Foi candidato às eleições presidenciais de 2007, mas ficou-se pelos 1,72 por cento dos votos, em último lugar, tendo apoiado José Ramos-Horta na segunda volta.
João Carrascalão estudou Topografia em Luanda (Angola) e especializou-se em Cartografia na Suíça. Ainda durante a administração portuguesa, dirigiu o Departamento de Geografia. Foi responsável pelas Infraestruturas na administração transitória das Nações Unidas em Timor-Leste, que se seguiu ao referendo de 1999
