In particular, the Multicultural Experience (Culture & Cooking) program will include making Vietnamese cuisine (Jeonbyeong ssam), Japanese cuisine (Okonomiyaki), Korean Dokdo terrarium, and Chinese panda LED crafts together with YouTube viewers.
Residents who wish to participate in this program can select two categories and pre-register at the Dongdaemun-gu Healthy Family and Multicultural Family Support Center to receive materials in advance and experience the activities together while watching YouTube on the day of the event.
All events held on this day can be viewed through the YouTube channel "Bang-guseok World Culture Festival."
The district expects that this non-face-to-face event, held in a situation where face-to-face meetings are difficult, will revitalize the local atmosphere and help relieve families' depression.
