The K-Connectors program, run by the K-Academic Diffusion Research Center under Inha Center for International Studies(ICIS), has been carrying out various activities with the aim of spreading Korean studies in the field of Social Science since the first term. The "Inha Nuri" team drew attention by planning and operating the "INHA-K" project based on the "Korean Society and Identity," a K-MOOC course.
The INHA-K project is a participatory communication activity centered on the lives and voices of international students and aims to promote a multicultural inclusive society through four strategies: experiential education, expansion of public sphere, operation of information community, and spread of digital content. The project consisted of a total of five programs: ▲ Inter-cultural Playground ▲ Nexus Forum ▲ Harmony Walk ▲ Access Nuri News ▲ K-Insight Report.

The first "Inter-cultural Playground" was an open booth event held on the campus of Inha University, designed to experience traditional games in Korea, China, and the Philippines together and naturally understand cultural differences. Participants shared the conditions of an inclusive society on a post-it through multicultural quizzes and opinion-expression activities, and in the survey, many responded that "they enjoyed experiencing cultural differences and a shift in perception."
The "Nexus Forum," which took place afterwards, was operated as a policy public forum where foreign and Korean students shared their problems in life together and suggested solutions. Beyond simple discussions, it continued to produce policy proposal pamphlets, and participants said they were "impressed by the experience of proposing and sharing direct opinions" after the forum.
In addition, in the 'Harmony Walk', which explored the Seoul World Urban Culture Festival together, international students learned the value of inclusivity by experiencing the cultures of various countries firsthand. Through watching performances, experiencing traditional culture, and cultural quizzes, international students were able to think naturally about the necessity and direction of multicultural coexistence in Korean society.

▲ Address of NURI News website run by 'Hannuri' team
In the online sector, an information provision website named 'Access Nuri News' was operated, and practical information and cultural contents for international students were produced and uploaded periodically as multilingual card news. The site functioned as an inclusive platform that encompasses not only information provision, but also reviews and community functions.
Finally, the digital content series 'K-Insight Report', which summarized the entire activities, was produced in the form of Reels videos and card news and spread through Instagram accounts. Each content reflected the contents of the K-MOOC course, and a QR code was inserted to establish a structure to connect online learning and practice.
Through this project, the "Hannuri" team established foreign students as active participants and policy subjects rather than passive objects, and effectively spread the value of inclusion and multicultural coexistence in Korean society through various activities that cross offline and online. The "INHA-K" project, which is also significant as a model for practical public diplomacy, is expected to have a positive impact on the dailyization and international spread of Korean studies in the future.
