Global Korean Youth Camp or free way to enjoy Korea
Today I will tell you a youth camp in Korea which changed my life and which was my first visit to Korea.
Global Korean Youth Camp is an annual 7-days camp for Koreans from all over the world. The camp is organized by Overseas Korean Foundation and sponsored by different associations and companies which support the Korean culture, history, society etc.
I was lucky enough to be a part of that camp in 2007 as a participant.
The participation in that camp was totally FREE. Organizers paid for everything…for the round-way flight, accommodation, food, transportation etc. So, I needed to do was just to come to Korea.
The program schedule was very active and tough. We almost didn’t have a free time. Every morning waking up early and doing exercise, then breakfast and start to explore Korea.
Every day we were learning something new about Korean history and culture, visiting new places, eating Korean yummies.
About 300 Koreans from all around the world participated in the camp. We were divided into groups of 15 or 20 people and visiting other cities in Korea, staying in traditional Korean villages.
Once we even did some volunteering by selling Korean coffee on the street.
One of the most important part was networking. The Global Korean Youth Networking is a very good opportunity to meet new friends and to learn about culture in other countries, and how do Koreans live in other parts of the world.
