Korea Festival Support Center (KFSC)— a private, non-governmental center
KFSC supports the people who make festivals in Korea through research, training, consulting and a practitioner community. This page is our English contact point for festivals, festival associations, researchers and media outside Korea.
KFSC is not a government agency and does not act on behalf of the Korean government or any public body. It is an affiliate institution of (사)한국문화기획학교, a Korean incorporated association. Information on this page describes KFSC’s own activities only.

We summarise Korean public policy that affects festivals, written for people who run festivals.

Consulting
We advise festival organisers on specific operational problems.

COLLABORATION
How we can work together
Collaboration can start small. We usually begin with an exchange of information before any formal agreement.
Information exchange
Share publications, research and data, with sources credited on both sides.
Expert exchange
Speak at a KFSC forum, or meet Korean festival practitioners during a visit to Korea.
Joint research and events
Work together on a research question, a seminar or a roundtable.
Study visits
Discuss programmes for Korean festival professionals who wish to learn from your festival or city.
