As part of the “Taekwondo: Meeting the World” exhibition, the Korean Cultural Centre India (KCCI) hosted a special outreach programme by inviting students from local schools to the exhibition space on July 8, 22, and 30, 2025. The programme included a guided tour and a Korean lacquerware (najeonchilgi) workshop, aimed at fostering interest and understanding of Taekwondo A total of approximately 120 students and 6 teachers participated from three schools: Mount Abu Public School (42 students), Ganga International School (33 students), and Bal Bharti Public School (45 students).

The experience encouraged deeper reflection on Taekwondo as a cultural art form, beyond its image as a sport. Following the tour, students took part in a hands-on ‘najeonchilgi’ workshop. Through the activity, students expressed keen interest in Korean traditional crafts and immersed themselves in the delicate process of mother-of-pearl inlay. ▲ Students gather in the exhibition hall and listen attentively to the curatorial explanation on the history and philosophy of Taekwondo, learning about its development over time.   ▲ Students express curiosity as they observe Taekwondo uniforms exhibited in a glass showcase.   ▲ Students explore the exhibition freely and engage in discussion with their peers about the artifacts on display.   ▲ Students listen carefully to instructions on how Korean lacquerware is made as they prepare for the hands-on activity. ▲ A student, speaking into a microphone, shares his thoughts — saying they learned more about Taekwondo and enjoyed the craft session. ▲ Students delicately create Taekwondo-themed lacquerware keyrings, experiencing the beauty of traditional Korean craftsmanship. ▲ After the activity, students proudly pose for a group photo with their handmade lacquerware keyrings.
