The Korean Cultural Center in Israel was established as a registered association
in January 2006 by Mr. Lisun H. Cho.
The center aims to advance Korean and Israeli relations as well as
to enable Israelis to be aquainted with Korean culture.
This center forms part of a world-wide project.
Similar associatations exist in various other countries.
One of the motivating factors for establishing this center in Israel
was the fact that Korean culture is relatively unknown here.
The Korean association formed in 1985, represents Israel's Korean community.
Their number is estimated at around 500, 300 of whom reside in Jerusalem.
Most are students pusuing advanced studies.
The Korean Cultural Center has held a number of cultural events in Jerusalem and in Tel-Aviv, such as "Korea Day".
The center organizes cultural events and offers a range of activities
such as: a Korean language courses (at novice and advanced levels),
screening Korean movies, cross-cultural language-exchange meetings with Korean students, and so on.
Those who visit the center can also enjoy a cup of tea or coffee and have access to a
display of cultural ornaments, a library of Korean books and films,
a range of books about Korea and internet access.
