The Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. is a longtime participant in the Embassy Adoption Program (EAP), which pairs local embassies with elementary and middle school classrooms for a series of cultural workshops and lessons throughout the school year. Presented in partnership with District of Columbia Public Schools and Washington Performing Arts, EAP itself has a long history of providing DC public school children with valuable cultural experiences and knowledge as they learn about the countries of the world first hand. 

In 2023-24, the KCCDC is working with four classes of fifth graders. Monthly visits include an introduction to Korean history, art, and culture, craft workshops, Taekwondo lessons, language lessons, and more. The goal of the program is to provide students with an authentic, lasting, and substantive understanding of a range of important cultural aspects of Korea through interactive, experiential learning together with artists, teachers, and cultural experts. 

Regular visits are not open to the public, but interested media are welcome to inquire about coverage opportunities. Please contact Adam Wojciechowicz at awoj@koreaembassy.org or more information.
