which prepared a special program for 'Family Month’

The Dokdo Museum Seoul has set up a variety of programs for families. In May, visitors to The Dokdo Museum Seoul and The Dokdo Exhibition Hall at Ganghwamun will be provided with a balloon with a Dokdo Gangchi. We also prepared a Dokdo sticker and a quiz about Dokdo. On weekends and holidays, you can also make Dokdo badges and tunnelbooks. Especially, there is something prepared for those who can not visit the Dokdo Museum Seoul and the Dokdo Exhibition Hall because of Covid-19. We will ship a learning kit to 150 people so that they can enjoy the 'Family Month' at home.

In the future, NAHF will develop activities to enjoy at The Dokdo Museum Seoul and The Dokdo Exhibition Hall. This will help people practice their love for Dokdo. We will make sure they make fun memories with their families. You must book to visit The Dokdo Museum Seoul and The Dokdo Exhibition Hall. The event related to 'Family Month' will be held from May 5 to 30.

The Forum on Wednesday 

'Knowing the history of kimchi in order to respond to China's Kimchi Project’

On April 21, NAHF hosted the 387th forum on Wednesday. The theme is 'Knowing the history of Kimchi in order to respond to China's Kimchi Project', and Park Chae-rin, a researcher at World Institute of Kimchi, was invited as a lecturer.

Park started her lecture on the difference of 'vegetable pickle' according to the birthplace of civilization in the big frame of world history. In addition, Park explained the origin of the record and the evolution of technique about the way of manufacturing 'vegetable pickle', the identity of kimchi from a historical and cultural point of view, the status of kimchi, and the efforts needed to raise the status of kimchi. Park told us about the historical value of kimchi and future alternatives.

This forum discussed ways to protect our own food culture based on the originality and cultural sustainability of kimchi. And it was an opportunity to think about how to respond to the China's Kimchi Project by publicizing the value of kimchi and establishing its identity.
