The 4th SWCIC ‘Suone’ Day

"Learning Han Geul(Korean) Day!“

On the occasion of Hangeul Day on October 9, 2021,
the online Hangeul Day event held by the Suwon Center for International Cooperation(SWCIC) was successfully concluded with the active participation of foreign residents.

This event was designed with the purpose of introducing the Korean language, Hangeul Day, to foreigners living in Suwon
and making them feel familiar with the Korean language.

                                                                         the 1st Period : What is Hangeul ?

The event was held for a total of 4 periods in the form of a school class.

1st period: What is Hangeul? (creation of Hangeul, excellence of Hangeul, etc.)
2nd period: New words/fashionable words. Introduction and following proverbs (speaking class)
3rd Period: Calligraphy Writing (Writing Class)
4th Period: Making Hunminjeongeum Kit (Creating Lights)

Two members of the Suwon Center for International Cooperation(SWCIC) were assigned to each class,
and they took charge of each class as teachers and conducted the event.

Due to the Covid situation, in the initial planning stage, Because this event was also held online, 
all the members were worried about boredom due to non-face-to-face.

But we were able to have a fun time with the active response and support of foreigners.
In particular, in the writing class using calligraphy, I was impressed with the way that all the participants got to know Hangeul 
and tried to complete the work beautifully.

Although it is a short time, I hope that through this, foreigners will be interested in writing Hangul even a little.
Also, through the people who asked what the next event will be, We got a passion for planning the next event to have a more fulfilling and fun time.
We look forward to your interest and participation in the two remaining events this year.
