Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education will offer a Korean culture camp for children of migrant workers for three days from Wednesday through Friday. This event is aimed at helping the children adapt themselves to schools and culture here.

Eighty children will participate in the camp and will learn Korean history by visiting a traditional Korean village and Independence Hall of Korea in South Chungchung Province. Also, they will experience Korean traditional etiquette and manners through the program. ``Many migrant workers’ children have difficulties in mingling with other students. We want to help them understand Korean culture and Korean society,’’ said Lee Jae-won, who organized the event.
