The Korean Cultural Center in the United Arab Emirates has announced the launch of its 2025 Touring K-Arts program, featuring Arte-K Visual Art and Movement Workshops specifically designed for children and adolescents. This one-day cultural initiative aims to provide young participants with hands-on experience in Korean visual arts and movement activities, promoting cross-cultural understanding through creative expression.
The workshops are scheduled to take place on Monday, September 1st, 2025, at the Multipurpose Hall within the Korean Cultural Center. Two sessions will be offered throughout the day to accommodate different schedules: a morning session running from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and an afternoon session from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The program is designed to engage participants aged 6 to 14 years old, with parents and guardians welcome to join their children during the activities.
Participation in the Arte-K workshops is completely free of charge, making Korean cultural education accessible to families throughout the UAE. The program combines visual art instruction with movement-based activities, allowing children to explore Korean culture through multiple forms of artistic expression. These interactive workshops are part of the broader Touring K-Arts initiative, which aims to bring Korean cultural experiences directly to international communities.
