KF-EAI Korea Friendship

 

Korea Foundation (KF) and East Asia Institute (EAI) are launching the “Korea Friendship” project. Through this project, international students currently enrolled in universities in Korea will have the opportunity to “explore,” “communicate,” and “empathize” with Korea. We cordially welcome you to our “Korea Friendship” project.

 

 

1.   Project Details and Agenda

The Korea Friendship project consists of three main programs: 1) “KF Academicus,” which consists of lecture series focusing on exploring the various aspects of the Korean society, 2) “KF Communicus,” which focuses on activities that promote communication of ideas and discussion with the Korean society, and 3) “KF Empathicus,” which provides international students opportunities to network not only with diverse groups of people in the Korean society, but also among themselves.
