Outreach to the Victorian Centre for Higher Education Studies (CHES)
On Friday August 8, a team from Monash University Korean Studies Research Hub gave a one-hour Korean language and culture introductory class to year 12 students at CHES (the Victorian Centre for Higher Education Studies) in South Yarra. Led by MUKSRH Hub Coordinator Sandy Nguyen the team of Monash Korean Studies students Sandra Binoy and Larissa Carberry introduced students to Hangul, basic greetings and fundamental Korean cultural characteristics. The CHES sessions are part of MUKSRH’s short courses outreach scheme funded by their AKS Core Universities grant and aim to raise interest in Korea and in Korean Studies. There are plans for a follow up session to be taught by the same team in December 2025.
