The East-West Center, in partnership with and generous sponsorship from the Korea Foundation, invited representatives of youth-oriented organizations specializing in international relations to the Next-Generation Vision Consortium on ROK-US and the Indo-Pacific to build and strengthen their knowledge of Korea, the US-Korea relationship, and international affairs.

Participants from organizations such as student-led associations, volunteer organizations, youth networks, think tanks, and universities located across the United States were selected through an application process to participate in a series of workshops in which they had the opportunity to engage with one another and with eminent guest speakers. The final workshop, convening participants in-person from across the country, was held at the Korea Foundation’s new office in Washington, DC, to celebrate the conclusion of the program and the beginning of a lasting network of young professionals engaged on these important issues.

Presentations and discussions summarized herein do not reflect the views of any particular participant, speaker, or of the East-West Center and the Korea Foundation.
