Hampton Park Library Outreach Program 2024

Hampton Park Library 2024 Report

As part of our short courses outreach scheme Monash University Korean Studies Research Hub has been running weekly Korean language and culture classes at Hampton Park Library throughout term 3 (July-September) 2024. The classes have been set up, designed, coordinated and taught by MUKSRH Hub Coordinator Sandy Nguyen in collaboration with MUKSRH student in-class support Farzana Afzali, Larissa Carberry and Pick Kulbul. Each week the team prepares a class with a different language or culture focus and the response has been enthusiastic with an average of 15 students in attendance. The majority of students are members of the public with an interest in Korean language and culture thanks to the popularity of K-drama, K-pop and K-culture in general.

This work was supported by the Core University Program for Korean Studies through the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and Korean Studies Promotion Service of the Academy of Korean Studies (AKS-2023-OLU-2250001).
