Koreapedia

Korean Culture Insights by Korean Students

Program Introduction

Koreapedia is an online program for Korean adoptees and adoptees’ children to learn about Korean culture and history. Participating in the program is also a good opportunity to connect with other adoptees from around the world!

There will be some language elements included in the program, but please note that it is primarily a cultural program rather than a language program.

If you already have some basic knowledge about the Korean language and would instead like to practice speakingΒ in Korean, check out our MalHagi program, which might be a better fit for you!

Zoom sessions will be conducted by volunteer students from Seoul National University.
