In addition, the Republic of South Korea is holding the 2024 Youth Peace Camp for grandchildren and great grandchildren of Korean War Veterans. The Youth Peace Camp is intended to pass the bond forged during the Korean War between Korea and UN countries down to future generations, and to strengthen it further. Three vacancies will be allocated to Canada.
Applicants must be the grandchild or great grandchild of a Korean War veteran who is attending, or has been admitted to attend university or college. Must have good academic performance and be recommended by the university or college.
The deadline for applications is 1 March 2024. Information will be published shortly.
