Dive into a vibrant series of workshops designed for children aged 7 to 12, where traditional and contemporary Korean art forms come alive. Kids will enjoy hands-on activities including dance, food, puppetry, language, and dress-ups, all guided by talented local artists. This is a unique opportunity for your child to connect with Korean culture while making new friends and expressing their creativity.
Throughout the program, participants will collaboratively author an Australian children's Korean picture-book, capturing their artwork, writing, and photographic memories. The workshops celebrate language diversity, encouraging children to share and learn Korean in a welcoming and playful environment.
This engaging series is perfect for parents seeking enriching weekend activities that blend culture, creativity, and community.
The program consists of seven fortnightly Saturday afternoon workshops held from 1:30 to 3:30 pm on the following dates: February 28, March 14, April 11, May 2, May 16, May 30, and June 20, 2026. While attendance at all sessions is encouraged to fully experience the collaborative book-making process, children can join as many workshops as possible.
Each session focuses on a different theme, such as kimchi and collage, Korean language through dance, storytelling, Korean script drama, traditional dress-ups, and reviewing the book. The series culminates in a book launch on July 25, 2026.
