The program aims to deepen participants’ understanding of the Korean language, culture, and everyday life in Korea while strengthening global competence and cross-cultural understanding.
Various engaging activities have been prepared for participants. In addition to attending the Welcome Ceremony and campus tour at Donggang University, students will experience wearing hanbok and taking part in a traditional tea ceremony at Gwangju Hyanggyo. They will also visit a range of cultural destinations, including Malbau Market, Damyang, where they will participate in T-shirt and eco-bag making activities at the Daedam Art Museum and visit the Juknokwon Bamboo Garden, as well as the Asia Culture Center and the Chungjang-ro area in Gwangju.
Participants will also enjoy a distinctive Korean experience by attending a professional KBO baseball game, one of the most popular sports in Korea. The program will conclude with a Completion Ceremony to mark the end of the series of activities and celebrate the participants’ achievements during the 2026 Du-Summer Camp.
During the program, Donggang University will provide accommodation, meals, and all academic and cultural activities, while participants will only need to cover airfare, visa processing, and personal expenses.
The participation of these six students from the Korean Language Education Study Program at FPBS UPI is expected to enrich their academic experience, strengthen their Korean language proficiency through direct practice in a native-speaking environment, and broaden their international networks. It is also hoped that this experience will inspire other students to continue developing their competence and to actively pursue international opportunities.
