About this experience

The Korea–Türkiye Youth Bridge Camp is a 6-week international exchange program designed to build meaningful cultural and educational connections between Türkiye and the Republic of Korea.

Hosted in Daegu, South Korea, the program offers Turkish university students and young graduates the opportunity to experience daily life in Korea through Korean language education, cultural immersion activities, local community experiences, and international networking.

Rather than being a short-term tour program, Youth Bridge Camp focuses on real-life cultural exchange and personal growth. Participants live together, study together, travel together, and build long-term friendships with both Korean students and fellow international participants.

Throughout the program, participants join structured Korean language classes, cultural workshops, city trips, team projects, and K-Buddy exchange activities designed to create genuine interaction with Korean culture and society.

Our mission is to create a new generation of young people who can serve as a bridge between Türkiye and Korea through mutual understanding, collaboration, and shared experiences.
