No matter what interests you about Korea, how you engage with the country and what you would like to present - we offer you a stage!


Who can take part?

People with a keen interest in Korea
We are looking for amateurs who want to present their contribution to Korea on stage.

You are free to choose what you want to present - the main thing is that it is about Korea.  Your presentation can be in either German or Korean (for Korean presentations, please provide a brief explanation of the content in German)
Length of the contribution: maximum 5 minutes.
