The Hangeul and Computer Foundation will hold a cultural exchange program for multicultural families as its first official event since its establishment. The foundation has prepared an event bringing together families with different languages and cultures by creating a space for communication through Hangeul.
The event is titled “Multicultural Harmony Camp: The Joy of Being Together.” It is hosted by the Hangeul and Computer Foundation and co-organized by the nonprofit organization Uri Culture Keepers. It will take place from next month 4 to 5 at Cheongrium in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province.
The event is open to multicultural families and will consist of scholarship support and cultural experience programs. The participants are multicultural families from 12 countries, including China, Vietnam, Japan, the Philippines, Mongolia, Peru, and Australia.
Seven organizations in the Seoul metropolitan area will take part in the event. They are Gangdong-gu Family Center, Gapyeong-gun Family Center, Guri-si Family Center, Anyang-si Family Center, Seongnam-si Family Center, Namyangju Community Child Center, and the Seoul Single-Parent Family Center.
International Rotary District 3640 and the Uri Culture Keepers volunteer group will also participate. The total number of participants, including families and volunteers, is more than 400.
On the first day of the camp, scholarships will be presented to 30 teenagers from multicultural families. The total scholarship amount is KRW 30 million. The scholarships will be jointly funded by the Hangeul and Computer Foundation, International Rotary District 3640, and Uri Culture Keepers.
During the same period, as part of ongoing cooperation to support multicultural families in the region, Uri Culture Keepers and the Gapyeong-gun Family Center plan to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) during the event. After the agreement, they plan to jointly pursue related programs and support activities.
The cultural exchange program will consist of hands-on events that participating families can enjoy together. The program will include a performance by the Areumdeuri Multicultural Choir, a special lecture on K-content culture by Shim Yong-hwan, head of the History Research Institute, family team games, world cuisine experiences, and traditional games. On the lawn, booths introducing foods from 5 countries, including China and Vietnam, and an area for trying traditional games will be operated.
In the evening, an “Evening of Harmony” combining performances and a campfire will be held. The next day will feature a family talent show and an awards ceremony for a poetry-and-painting exhibition.
At the end of the event, all participants jointly completed a large phrase symbolizing harmony. The event was focused not merely on cultural experiences, but on expanding exchanges among participating families through Hangeul as a medium.
This camp is the first official event hosted by the recently established Hangeul and Computer Foundation. It is also the starting point for systematizing Hancom's existing social contribution activities in Hangeul, education, and social welfare under the foundation's leadership.
Hancom has supported Hangeul-related organizations such as Sejong Institutes, provided Hangeul Office free of charge, and carried out Hangeul promotion and education support activities. The foundation plans to expand these existing activities in the future.
At the center of the expansion are Hangeul and Korean language education, as well as support for culturally underserved groups. The foundation plans to foster a Hangeul play culture linked to K-content and pursue support for global Hangeul education infrastructure. It also plans to carry out social contribution projects to expand educational opportunities and welfare support for multicultural families, teenagers, and culturally underserved groups.
The Hangeul and Computer Foundation has organized its first official event. The event aimed to promote harmony among families with different languages and cultures based on the Korean language, and the foundation said it created a place for families with different languages and cultures to come together through the Korean language. Yoon Jeong, chair of the Uri Culture Keepers Volunteer Committee, said she hopes families from different backgrounds will gather in one place and experience the value of diversity.
The Hangeul and Computer Foundation said it will use this opportunity to support communication without language barriers for more people, including multicultural families. It also said it plans to continue social contribution activities to expand access to culture.
