Well let me tell you, besides having you guys play a key role in making things in the festival the way you want, we will be having tours; conducted by the very people that are new to Yeosu! As you may know, we are going to give you a tour around Yeosu during the camp, then, when the festival is going, we will have the chance for you to show around other international visitors, and even Koreans that have travelled from other parts of the peninsula! But don't worry you will be partnered up with an English speaking Korean buddy that will be there to do it with...
Some of the eco-friendly things that we will have on offer at the camp are things like; making musical instruments from recycled materials, naturally made soap that is environmentally friends, traditional Korea knitting, and cooking foods from different countries, which you will be able to then teach or do with participants in the youth festival just a few days later...
Events will be held around different parts of Yeosu, including Odongdo Island, Ocean Park, and Turtle Park so that the festive spirit can be spread all around the city...
