The Korean Cultural Center in the UAE held a fun summer camp for children on July 15, in partnership with the Media Creative Authority. This camp was made for kids on summer break. It gave them a chance to enjoy culture and learn about media in a fun way. A total of 61 children and 10 teachers joined this event. The day started with a short talk about Korea. After that, the children joined making workshops like making traditional Korean masks and creating Korean keychains. The kids enjoyed making their crafts and showed a lot of focus. Some children wore their handmade masks all day. Next, the kids played a team game called the 'Flipping Game'. It was a simple game, but many kids were very excited and tried hard to win. At the end of the camp, the kids tested Korean banana milk and snacks. This was the laft fun part of the Korean Cultural Center's program. This event was a great example of working together with an important local culture organization. It also helped children learn about Korea in a fun way. The Korean Cultural Center will keep planning more programs like this for kids in the future.
