The Korean Overseas Cooperation Center (KOCC), an affiliate of the Korean Overseas Agency (Director Kim Young-geun), successfully concluded the "2024 Second Half History and Cultural Experience Program for Overseas Korean Scholarship Students." The event, held from November 15 to 17 over three days and two nights, provided a meaningful opportunity for participants to explore and experience Korea's rich history and cultural heritage.
Approximately 130 overseas Korean scholarship students from 30 countries around the world joined the program. They delved into the depths of Korea's ancient and modern history, visiting key historical and cultural sites. In Gyeongju, the ancient capital of the Silla dynasty, participants explored significant landmarks like Daereungwon and Bulguksa Temple, gaining a deeper appreciation of Korea's ancient roots. The program also included a visit to Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, offering students a glimpse into Korea's remarkable industrial growth. Finally, in Busan, they visited sites such as the APEC House, UN Memorial Cemetery, and Busan Modern History Museum, broadening their understanding of Korea's modern history.
Director Kim Young-geun stated, "We hope this event served as an opportunity for overseas Korean scholarship students to experience Korea’s past and present firsthand, fostering pride in their heritage."
The Korean Overseas Cooperation Center plans to continue supporting overseas Korean scholarship students through specialized programs, helping them strengthen their ties with Korea while nurturing their growth as global talent.
