At a notable ceremony at the European Digital University (EDU), esteemed South Korean scientist and entrepreneur Hon-Sun-Yang, who has made significant contributions with over 470 global patents through his Khanteum Group, was celebrated as the inaugural Universal Citizen of the world. The ceremony featured key figures such as Prof. Sidhic A Muhammed, Chancellor of EDU, and Prof. Christopher Abraham, CEO of SP Jain School of Global Management, alongside Dr. Viinay Sarikonda and Dr. Faruq Abdal, Vice-Chancellors of EDU.
This recognition marks a significant moment for the Universal Citizens Movement, which is based on the idea that every individual embodies the vast potential of the universe, transcending traditional societal barriers. The human mind, often described as a “3-pound universe,” symbolizes this immense potential and capacity for limitless achievement.
The movement, championed by the European Digital University, aims to inspire individuals to look beyond the confines of race, religion, nationality, and other societal divisions. It promotes cutting-edge technologies and discoveries, including Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, and the Metaverse. As part of its vision, EDU is set to initiate the World Meta Summit, aiming to engage educational bodies worldwide from schools to universities and commerce chambers. This summit intends to educate and enable millions, including children, to build a globally connected community that values innovation and collaborative efforts across various fields.
Hon-Sun-Yang stands as a beacon for the Universal Citizen ethos through his groundbreaking contributions in science, innovation, and investment. His leadership at Khanteum Group highlights the critical role of knowledge and cooperative effort in driving global positive change.
This celebration heralds a new era of global citizenship, anticipating a world where people from diverse backgrounds join together as Universal Citizens to champion progress and inclusive development across the globe.
