This event was organized to promote growth as global leaders through mutual understanding of culture and history and expanding global awareness via exchanges between Korea and Saudi Arabia. The event started on the 7th and is scheduled to continue until the 15th.


Last year, through the 'Korea-Arab Youth Exchange Program,' 12 Saudi Arabian university students visited Korea for 9 days. This year, 14 Korean university students who have a strong interest in Arab culture and wish to visit and interact with Arab countries were selected, and they will visit Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for 9 days. The selected Korean students will experience Arab culture by visiting tourist attractions in Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, and Dubai. They will also visit Prince Sultan University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Ajman University in the UAE to spend time interacting with local university students.


An S-OIL official stated, "Through this Korea-Arab Youth Exchange Program, we hope Korean university students will broaden their understanding of the Arab region and culture and grow into global leaders," adding, "We hope the S-OIL Science and Culture Foundation will serve as a bridgehead for Korea-Arab cultural exchange."



The S-OIL Science and Culture Foundation has continuously implemented projects to promote cultural exchange between Korea and the Arab world. In addition to the Korea-Arab Youth Exchange Program, it also sponsors the Korea-Arab Youth Startup Idea Contest and the Arabic Speech Contest.
