The VKU – ISEP 2025 academic exchange and cultural immersion program, themed “Korean Language and Culture Camp 2025,” between students from the Vietnam – Koreorea University of Information and Communication Technology – the University of Danang (VKU) and the Cheong Un International Volunteer Group from South Korea, concluded successfully with many impressive outcomes and memorable experiences. On the afternoon of August 14, 2025, the program held the final event — a “Golden Bell Challenge” quiz on Korean culture — followed by a closing ceremony.

Attending the event were Mr. Han Seong Don (Team Leader), Mr. Park Dong Su, and Mr. Ku Hyun Mo – Director of Vision Century Company, representing the Cheong Un Volunteer Group. From VKU, participants included Dr. Le Ha Nhu Thao – Head of the Department of Science, Technology and International Cooperation, along with representatives from university departments, faculties, and centers, and 40 students from both Vietnam and Korea.

From August 12–14, 2025, VKU – ISEP 2025 provided a rich and colorful journey with vibrant Korean language classes, culinary exploration, deep dives into both traditional and modern Korean culture, cultural and martial arts exchange activities, a visit to the Da Nang Museum, and a lively beach team-building session on My Khe beach. Each activity served as a bridge, allowing students from both countries to learn, share, and understand each other — strengthening bonds that transcend geographic distance.

“Golden Bell Challenge” – A fun and educational quiz on Korean knowledge

Before the official closing, the atmosphere reached a high note with the “Golden Bell Challenge” — a quiz competition testing knowledge of Korean language and culture. This intellectual playground allowed students to showcase their understanding of Korea’s language, history, geography, cuisine, and society through interesting and thought-provoking questions. The vibrant atmosphere, enthusiastic cheers, and bursts of laughter made the event truly unforgettable. The organizing committee awarded one First Prize (Phan Xuan Sy), one Second Prize (Tu Cong Minh), two Third Prizes (Tran Chanh Tin and Le Cong Nguyen), and one Consolation Prize (Ho Bao Nguyen).

Speaking at the closing ceremony, Mr. Han Seong Don expressed his heartfelt thanks to the Organizing Committee and the VKU community for their warm, thoughtful, and heartfelt hospitality: “Over the past three days, we’ve laughed, shared, and engaged in many meaningful activities together. Not only have we had a lively, hands-on experience with both Vietnamese and Korean cultures, but we’ve also felt genuine friendship, mutual respect, and a sincere spirit of collaboration from VKU students. These are unforgettable memories for every member of our delegation. I hope VKU students will continue to nurture their curiosity, openness to the world, and passion for knowledge. We truly believe you will become important contributors to deepening the cooperative and friendly relations between Vietnam and Korea.”

Closing the VKU – ISEP 2025 journey, the memories and bonds created will remain in the hearts of all participants. The program was not only a meaningful opportunity for cultural and academic exchange but also a reaffirmation of VKU’s commitment to international cooperation, fostering a multicultural learning environment, and nurturing a dynamic, confident, and compassionate generation of global citizens.
