Curtin Korea Day

This event was open to all university students in Western Australia interested in Korea and Korean Studies and a select number of high schools. The event aimed to provide an opportunity for students to meet with other like-minded people.

Curtin Korea Day featured several visiting speakers from current students to former graduates and visiting academics, who focused on giving examples of where a Korean Studies major or specialisation can take you, including study abroad opportunities. We also heard from visiting students from Korea, and got creative with lantern making using traditional Korean paper hanji, and calligraphy writing.

A competition for university and high school students was also run. Entrants were required to submit a creative piece, for example, a short essay, poem, painting, manhwa, webtoon, short story or song, that expresses how they see the Australia-Korea relationship. Prizes included Korean novels, K-pop paraphernalia and academic books.
