Bereket Alemayehu

Africa Insight hosted the 2021 African Cultural Diversity and Exchange Forum last December 01, 2021, in the city of Seoul with the participation of Africans and Korean citizens.

The forum was sponsored by the Seoul Metropolitan Government to enhance the public’s understanding of African culture and to promote culture and exchange between Korea and African countries.

The Cultural Diversity forum that was held prior to the 5th Korea-Africa Forum was a ministerial-level meeting started in 2006 to strengthen the partnership between Korea and Africa, which was then scheduled to be held last week, but due to the new COVID19 variant, Omicron, the forum had been postponed to 2022.

The forum host Africa Insight is a Seoul-based NGO with the aim of facilitating education and awareness surrounding African development, both in Korea and worldwide. Conceived in 2013 by Steven Sungyong Heo in response to his own experiences in Tanzania and Senegal, Africa Insight has grown as an organization and now runs its own program, YES Africa. Based in Kenya, it fosters people-centered solutions, local-centered thinking, and sustainable projects through local entrepreneurial support. Africa Insight’s work encompasses a wide range of topics, including media monitoring and reporting, government advisory services and general education work in Seoul. This year alone, it has published comprehensive books on Tanzania, Ghana and Rwanda in collaboration with Green Rain Publishing Company as well.
