Last Saturday, 26 April, the Korean Cultural Centre, together with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea, hosted Next Gen Leaders Meet Korea—a special cultural exchange programme aimed at introducing South African students to Korea’s rich culture and educational opportunities.

Learners from the Kutlwanong Centre for Maths, Science and Technology participated in a full day of interactive activities. The programme featured an introductory lecture on Korea, a cultural quiz, and a presentation on study opportunities in Korea. Students also enjoyed a guided tour of the Centre, experienced traditional Korean cuisine, and took part in a hands-on workshop creating traditional Korean masks (tal, 탈).

The day concluded with several students showcasing impressive performances in Korean, demonstrating both their enthusiasm and potential as future global leaders.

This programme is part of the Centre’s ongoing effort to build meaningful cultural bridges and inspire the next generation of globally minded leaders.
