Pilsa: A Time to Reflect Through Writing

Pilsa, the practice of slowly copying meaningful sentences by hand, offers a special opportunity to pause amid the busyness of daily life and reflect on yourself through writing. To welcome the new semester, UNIST Library has prepared a participatory humanities program that combines humanities lectures with hands-on pilsa and reflective writing activities.In particular, 6 of the 10 sessions will focus on self-directed pilsa and writing activities, giving participants the opportunity not only to listen to lectures, but also to write, reflect, and think more deeply. We warmly welcome your interest and participation.
