The Embassy of the Republic of Korea and the Korean Cultural Centre are recruiting Honorary Reporters who are passionate content creators, with great love and knowledge of Korea and Korean culture!

As an Honorary Reporter, you will be invited to attend various events (both online and offline) and initiatives hosted by the Korean Embassy and the Korean Cultural Centre, write about the event and your experiences of it, and share it with fellow Canadians.

Also, you will be invited to create personal online contents related to any topic of Korea you are interested in and share them via SNS platforms and blogs. The Korean Cultural Centre will also post your content on our homepage to share to a broader audience.

With your writing talents, you will encourage other Canadians to be informed of various Korean cultural activities taking place, encourage their future participation, and ultimately, invite others to also become a part of the movement to building a positive spirit of Korea-Canada relations.
