Around 50 people attended the exhibition, including ambassador couples from the host country Tunisia, as well as France, Senegal, Morocco, Kenya, Algeria, Poland and Cote d'Ivoire, French-speaking country government personnel, members of culture and arts organizations, and students from our university.
Our university co-hosted the Francophonie Day event with the French Embassy in Korea after KCI was selected as the host organization of the Korea-France forum.
Our university held the arts exhibition that showed the Tunisian culture in an effort to strengthen cooperation with French-speaking countries in Africa and improve our global capacity. Photographs introduced the unique mosaic patterns that are the cultural heritage of Maghreb, including Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria, and traditional handicraft.
KCI has hosted culture and arts events other than this exhibition, such as Senegal Day and Greece Day, too, and has hosted a talk concert with ambassadors of French-speaking countries in Korea every Monday since March 17.
On Saturday, the 22nd of this month, Le Cordon Bleu of our university held a 'Food of France and Korea' class jointly with the French embassy, the French Institute and the French Korean Chamber of Commerce and Industry, where participants could taste the foods of the two countries and exchange with related personnel. In May, a 'Korean-African Culture and Arts Forum' will be held jointly with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and a program inviting the ISM Business School from Dakar, Senegal will be hosted, too.
A KCI personnel said, "We will continue exchange with the embassies of French-speaking countries in Korea and produce various cooperating projects with the countries."
