SEOUL, KOREA - KOTRA and the European Chamber of Commerce in Korea (ECCK), along with Grow Together, a group of volunteer university students who strive to improve the perception of foreign investment through corporate social responsibility activities, visited Gyeongbok Palace last month for their first volunteer activity.
They picked weeds and tidied the garden of Gyeongbok Palace to clean up the Korean cultural heritage. The activity was extra significant in that the idea for it was raised by a student participating in Grow Together.
Participants said the cleanup was a great opportunity to raise awareness about cultural heritage protection. They added that the event, with cooperation from European companies and families, served as an opportunity to better understand foreign-invested companies and learn how they contribute to the Korean economy.
