On August 7, the Overseas Koreans Cooperation Center (Director Kim Young-geun) held the closing ceremony of the “2025 Next-Generation Overseas Koreans Korean Language Immersion Camp” at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, marking the successful conclusion of an eight-day program.
Hosted by the Overseas Koreans Cooperation Center, this year’s camp was organized to coincide with the 80th anniversary of Korea’s liberation and the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic ties between Korea and Japan. Its goal was to inspire Japanese-Korean youth to learn the Korean language and deepen their understanding of their ancestral homeland.
Starting on August 1, the camp brought together 64 Japanese-Korean elementary school students from the Kanto and Kansai regions (grades 4 to 6). Participants not only received intensive Korean language instruction but also took part in a variety of programs that allowed them to experience Korean history and culture firsthand.
Special events included “Creating the Light of the Taegeuk Together,” “Stained Eco Art for the 60th Anniversary of Korea-Japan Diplomatic Relations,” and “World Day,” as well as making gimbap, learning Korean with traditional instruments and AI, and interviewing people with unique professions. These activities were well received by the participants, helping them gain a deeper appreciation of Korea.
The closing ceremony, attended by Director Kim Young-geun, featured a highlight video of the week’s activities, participant reflections, a “Our Own K-Content Screening,” an awards ceremony where every participant received a special prize, and the presentation of completion certificates.
