The final day included programs centered on hands-on Korean culture experiences. Participants broadened their understanding of teaching methods for Korean culture and shared ways of applying them in educational settings through various cultural training sessions covering Korean cuisine, hanbok, Korean films and dramas, and more.
Notably, in response to the growing demand for Korean language and culture across Europe, the workshop also hosted a consultation desk for applications to designate new KSIs. Representatives from five major universities in countries such as Greece and Spain who participated in the consultations expressed positive feedback, stating that “it provided an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the procedures and operational direction for establishing a KSI, and we are actively considering applying for a KSI designation in the future.”
