Jeonbuk National University successfully hosted a comprehensive cultural forum designed to strengthen connections between Korean diaspora youth and their homeland. The K-NEXT Korean Youth Forum Camp Jeonju 2025 brought together young participants from the Korean diaspora community to engage in meaningful cultural exchange and educational activities on the university campus in Jeonju.
The forum, held on August 5, provided a unique platform for Korean youth living abroad to reconnect with their cultural roots while building networks with peers who share similar experiences of living between two cultures. Participants gathered at the Jeonbuk National University campus, where they engaged in various activities designed to deepen their understanding of Korean culture, history, and contemporary society.
The program represents part of ongoing efforts by Korean educational institutions to maintain strong ties with overseas Korean communities and support the cultural identity development of diaspora youth. Through structured discussions, cultural activities, and collaborative projects, participants had the opportunity to explore their Korean heritage while sharing their diverse international experiences with one another.
Jeonbuk National University's initiative reflects the growing recognition of the importance of maintaining cultural connections with Korean communities worldwide. The forum serves as a bridge between Korea and its diaspora, fostering understanding and cooperation across geographical boundaries while empowering young Koreans abroad to serve as cultural ambassadors in their respective countries.
