Dear Korean Adoptees,

This workshop is to give an opportunity for adoptees living or planning to live in Korea to meet Korean experts and receive professional support and information.

Through this event, you can make connections with people from all walks of life and find information about your career or the field you’re interested in. Young Korean mentors who are currently working in various fields will help you get involved in the Korean society and provide you with professional knowledge.

Mentors and adoptees will be matched one on one. Group and individual mentoring sessions are prepared to help mentors and mentees get to know each other. The mentoring duration is approximately three months.
