The community engagement pillar focuses on activities that involve collaborations between community, institutions, industry and government bodies which foster strong relationships through meaningful interactions and enhance community understanding of Korea, Korean culture and Korea-Australia relations.
One of the key objectives of the Korea Research & Engagement Centre is to support local primary and secondary schools' Cross Curriculum Priority Area materials, as well as Korean language education activities in Western Australia. We work closely with local high schools to create opportunities for students to learn the Korean language and culture while still at school.
