What to Expect
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.
