For a great start to the day, let’s make our way to South Korea ✈️🇰🇷
🇵🇱🇰🇷 Agata, a Korean philology student at the AMU Faculty of Ethnolinguistics (Wydział Etnolingwistyki UAM), extends heartfelt greetings from South Korea, where she is currently engaged in an academic exchange/internship programme organised by Changwon National University (CWNU) as part of its international cooperation with AMU 🌐💌
안녕하세요! 저는 아가타입니다!
💬 “I’d already had the chance to get to know South Korea during a year-long exchange at a partner university in Seoul whilst studying for my bachelor’s degree. Now I’m returning to this extraordinary country to continue my journey at Changwon National University,” says the student.
💬 Changwon is located near Busan, making it a great starting point for exploring the southern part of Korea. Thanks to the convenient rail links, almost every weekend offers an opportunity to discover new places, local culture and everyday life
💬 “A total of 10 people are participating in the ‘Global Coordinator’ internship programme, including as many as six individuals from Poland. On a day-to-day basis, we work in the international relations office, run English conversation classes for Korean students and create content for the university’s social media channels,” she adds.
💬One of the biggest and, at the same time, most pleasant surprises for us is the huge interest Korean students have in Poland! 🇵🇱
💬 However, CWNU isn’t just about studying and working. The university organises team-building trips for us and offers many extra-curricular activities. Once a term, there’s a student festival here, attended by all the students,” explains Agata.
💬Additionally, I’ve managed to join the climbing and tennis clubs, whilst my friends are members of art, photography and taekwondo clubs, for example. It’s a brilliant opportunity to meet new people and try new things. 🎾🧗♀️
