The 3^rd KF-EAI Korea Friendship

Member Recruitment

 

 

East Asia Institute (EAI) is hosting the Korea Friendship project, sponsored by Korea Foundation (KF) and Samgyang Holdings Corporation, for international students residing in Korea. In this project, international students whom are currently enrolled in universities in Korea will have opportunity to “explore,” “communicate,” and “empathize” 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.
