Korean Students go to Myanmar for its Movies and Cultural Exchange
On this June, ‘ASEAN Cultural Exchange Project’ organized by Seoul Youth Cultural Exchange Center or MIZY Center at Central Seoul, targets to raise awareness of different cultures of South-East Asian nations through cultural exchange programs. This year, MIZY Center selected Myanmar as the first nation for this project and intends to develop greater knowledge and interest of each other. Korea and Myanmar shares many similar parts of history, such as the Buddhist civilization and colonial experience.
During this project, which will last from June 21st to June 28th, MIZY hopes for the Korean participants who hold much interest in videos and cultural exchanges to understand and gain knowledge about Myanmar. Not only will they culturally exchange with the Myanmar students , but also partake in various activities such as visiting a historic site of the country ‘Bagan’. Within the short limited time, to efficiently learn about Myanmar and vice versa, the students are going to take the advantage of using photographs and video clips. To suit such generation we are living in, the students are bringing photographs and video clips to inform Myanmar students about Korea. Through this project, Korean participants are able to closely experience Myanmar’s culture and the local people are able to communicate with Koreans, aside from through drama and movie productions.
The group of Korean visitors is consisted of Choi Hyung-Kun, Director of MIZY, 2 of MIZY’s employees, 9 college students and Park Bo-Young, a film critic who has many experiences in Myanmar. Prior to leaving to Myanmar, the participants have underwent period of training and obtained knowledge about Myanmar’s films through lectures of a former Myanmar embassy Park Ki-Jong, film critic Park Bo-Young, film director Kim Eun-Joo, cinematographer Seo Ki-Won and movie actor Um Choon-Bae.
MIZY Center is a Youth Cultural Exchange center that was established by the City of Seoul and operating under Korean National Commission for UNESCO. It runs variety of cultural exchange programs to raise young adults’ cultural sensitivity and feeling.
