PROGRAM INTRODUCTION

An internship to deepen your understanding of Korea's traditional culture!
As we enter the global era, Korean traditional culture is gaining recognition worldwide, attracting increasing interest from foreigners. However, there's also awareness of the gap between Korean traditional culture and the general public due to historical reasons. How about an internship that introduces and promotes traditional culture in a way that makes it more accessible and enjoyable for modern audiences? You'll have the chance to plan and execute traditional cultural initiatives firsthand, experiencing the satisfaction of making a meaningful impact.

Understanding traditional cultural industries while gaining work experience at the same time!
If you're interested in traditional culture and aiming to pursue fields like planning or marketing, this internship is perfect!
You'll get to plan and execute programs or campaigns that promote traditional culture, creating content such as videos and photos to generate cultural and artistic value.
Moreover, you'll have the opportunity to design and create logos or symbols embodying traditional rituals, gaining diverse experiences.
By experiencing and understanding the traditional cultural industry, you'll feel your efforts contribute to fostering a healthy cultural environment.

Interning in traditional culture offers these benefits!
First, you can experience traditional culture, which isn't commonly encountered.
Developing the traditional cultural industry firsthand gives you a unique work experience and a sense of pride in Korea's traditional culture.
Based on the slogan "Designing culture with the heart, and culture designing the heart," you establish the foundation of a society with a healthy mind by passing it down to future generations through exchanges with various countries around the world.
Second, you can experience both the past and the present.
Handling traditional culture in a modern way allows you to experience bridging the gap between the past and the present.

INSTITUTION INTRODUCTION

"As culture designs the heart, the heart designs culture."
Our organization is a social venture that dreams of a fairer world through culture, striving to unearth and reintegrate valuable local cultures that are marginalized and fading into obscurity. Over the past 8 years, we have worked on creating a sustainable cycle for Korea's traditional cultural industry through MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions, Events) projects, branding and marketing consulting, fostering traditional customs and festivals, and distributing handicrafts. Our goal is to restore forgotten Korean culture to everyday life.
Local Authority's Statement
"Over the past 150 years, Korea's unique spirit and cultural heritage have gradually disappeared from daily life due to wars and rapid economic growth. Similarly, numerous regional cultural heritages around the world are vanishing under the influence of power and economic logic.
Culture, being both a resource and spirit of a region, should be nurtured through cultural industries to enable regional development. Our mission is to realize the vision that 'every culture holds value' through sustainable regional cultural initiatives.
We are committed to finding the small joys and peace that already exist around us and ensuring they stay in our lives for long, dedicating ourselves to the mission of designing hearts through culture."

■ Recommended Travel Destinations

1. Namsan
Namsan, centrally located in Seoul, symbolizes the city and has become a central hub for citizens to relax and enjoy fresh air. N Seoul Tower atop Namsan provides efficient broadcasting and reception of signals while serving as the nation's first comprehensive tower integrating tourism facilities that preserve traditional Korean beauty, aiming to shape the future of broadcasting culture and tourism businesses. For over 40 years, it has also served as a representative landmark of South Korea and a symbol of Seoul.

2. Han River
Flowing through centuries of history, the Han River is not only a proud natural and cultural heritage of our nation but also a precious urban sanctuary that serves as the lungs of Seoul citizens. Many Han River parks have been developed around it, attracting numerous citizens. Equipped with various sports and leisure facilities, docks for Han River cruise ships, and well-maintained bicycle paths, it is a favorite spot for cycling enthusiasts in Seoul. Especially in spring and autumn, ideal for outdoor activities, many people spread out mats and enjoy the Han River.

3. Deoksugung Palace
Deoksugung Palace, located in Jung-gu, served as King Gojong's residence during the Joseon Dynasty and vividly captures one of the most turbulent periods of modern Korean history. Initially used as a temporary palace by King Seonjo following the Japanese invasions of Korea in 1592, it was later renamed Gyeongun Palace during the reign of King Gwanghae. The name was changed back to Deoksugung during King Gojong's stay here, symbolizing his long reign. Surrounding Deoksugung Palace is the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway, known as a resting place for citizens and a dating spot for couples, with local legends suggesting that couples who walk along it may part ways.
