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 'Connect-IN' team planned the project focusing on Korean Goryeo people who are prone to alienation due to institutional and social barriers.

The Connect-IN team operated a traditional culture experience program under the theme of "Unifying with Traditional Culture Experience" in cooperation with the Hambak Social Welfare Center in Incheon, especially for Goryeo youth who are experiencing identity confusion due to language, culture, and legal instability. The program was held once a month, a total of three times, and was organized so that Korean youth could experience Korean culture and feel a sense of national solidarity.

In the first activity, the team provided a time to feel the aesthetic elements of Korean culture through the experience of traditional mother-of-pearl crafts. In the second activity, it provided an opportunity to naturally experience Korean food culture and etiquette culture by making traditional multi-sense food, and in the third activity, the historical background area of the Goryeo people is displayed on the world map, and each participant connects his or her name or picture with a line to complete a single "Korean History Map."

Jeong Da-min, a 4th grader at the Department of Convergence of British, American, and Humanities, who led the project, said, "We have organized the message so that Korean teenagers can visually experience the message that we are connected as one, which can be thought to be different from each other." The Connect-IN team said at the performance presentation that this activity laid the foundation for Goryeo youth to accept Korean culture more naturally and internalize their identity as a Korean people.

The Connect-IN team decided that these activities should not be limited to one-time events, but should broaden the opportunities for continuous cultural exchange and identity recovery. Accordingly, after consultation with the Hambak Social Welfare Center in Incheon, it plans to conduct regular additional cultural experience volunteer activities until November 2025. In subsequent activities, we intend to lay the groundwork for longer-term and practical identity recovery and social integration through a participatory program that reflects on the opinions of Goryeo youth.

In addition, the Connect-IN team ran the "Do You Know? History on the Road – Goryeoin Quiz Campaign" around Inha University's campus and also conducted activities to improve participatory awareness of Koreans. The campaign aimed to resolve misunderstandings and indifference towards Korean compatriots in Goryeo and naturally delivering correct information, and was conducted by providing participants with historical and cultural quizzes related to Koreans and sharing traditional snacks. In addition, the campaign was also promoted through K-MOOC courses linked to the Connect-IN team's project.

In addition to field activities, the Connect-IN team expanded the foundation for the formation of social discourse by conducting online content public debate activities to raise awareness of Goryeoin. This activity, conducted under the name of the 'Information-Based Goryeoin Awareness Spread Campaign', attempted to create a sustainable public forum online by operating Instagram accounts and contributing to the press of the Hankook Mirae Ilbo.

Initially, the team aimed to provide practical living information to Korean compatriots in Goryeo, but through on-site advice, it paid attention to the lack of a foundation for information to be created rather than a simply lacking information. Accordingly, the goal was to shift the strategy to change the perception of Koreans and to form a structure in which voluntary information production and diffusion can take place.

To this end, the team continued to share information by posting contents related to Goryeoin on Instagram once or twice a week. The content deals with the history, culture, policy, and life story of Goryeoin and simultaneously enhances interest and understanding through card news format and storytelling-based explanation. Russian subtitles were introduced in some posts to strengthen the accessibility of the Goryeoin party. In addition, he contributed to the to promote wider social spread and awareness.

The Connect-IN team will continue to proceed activities for sustainable cultural exchange and identity recovery rather than one-off in the future, contributing to the foundation of a multicultural society living with the restoration of understanding among disconnected communities.
