Korea Heritage Agency Hosts Traditional Culture Experience Event at Korean School in Vietnam

Over 900 Overseas Koreans in Ho Chi Minh City Participate
Experience Royal Cuisine, AR, and VR

Students Participating in the 'Ieoji-gyo' National Heritage Education Experience Center

The Cultural Heritage Administration and the Korea Heritage Agency announced on the 13th that they held the "Traveling National Heritage Education Experience Center: Ieoji-gyo" at the Korean International School in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from October 8 to 11.

This education and experience program has been promoted by the two organizations since 2020. This year, a pilot overseas experience center was operated for 912 students and faculty members at Korean schools abroad, who have difficulty accessing Korean cultural heritage due to geographical constraints. The program featured educational sessions led by national heritage educators and immersive AR and VR content such as "Dinosaurs of the Korean Peninsula," "Beard Thief," and "Daniejeon." In celebration of the Chuseok holiday, a special "Cooking Class: Making Gujeolpan and Kkot Sanbyeong" was also held, led by Kim Doseop, a certified royal cuisine chef.

Kim Soonho, Director of the Cultural Heritage Project Division at the Korea Heritage Agency, said, "I hope this provided an opportunity for overseas Korean students in Ho Chi Minh City to learn about the value of our cultural heritage."
