2002년 국외 입양인 모국 문화체험 연수
Summer Cultural Program 2002 For OAKs

The Summer Cultural Program was established in 1998 by Overseas Koreans Foundation located in Seoul, Korea (OKF). Our goal is to give overseas Koreans and Korean adoptees abroad a chance to appreciate Korean culture and society through cultural programs. We strive to bridge a cultural gap between the overseas Korean adoptees and their birth country. The Summer Cultural Program provides Korean adoptees an opportunity to learn and explore both traditional and contemporary Korea.

Through the Summer Cultural Program, participants will have an opportunity for cultural exchange with Korean students for two to three days at a campsite. They will share their experience with other adoptees and Koreans. During the evenings, they will also have free time to explore Korea and meet other people. There will be also be lectures and discussions regarding adoption issues.

A home page is currently under construction. To ensure you with best service, we would appreciate your comments and/or opinion regarding the Summer Cultural Program.
