After finished the presentation and had lunch at The K-Hotel, All participants moved to National Hangeul Museum. There were two main activities: Museum Tour and Hangul Art Workshop (한글 글꼴도장 그림책 만들기).

In the Museum Tour, we learned the history of Korean Character and what makes it different from other countries’ characters. In the museum also there is Hangeul Learning Center (한글배움터). Inside, you can play and learn at the same time. The museum provides you learning place with High Technology. You can learn Korean in a fun way.
