About IYCEF
The International Youth Culture Exchange Federation (IYCEF) is a non-profit incorporated association in Korea, founded on 13 February 2008 and registered under the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family. Through international volunteering, cultural activities, global education and hands-on experience, we help young people — with and without disabilities, from every background — grow into members of the international community.
Our mission
Our purpose is to guide and nurture young people who think and act as members of the international community — beyond race, education, disability and income — through cultural experience and education from around the world.
We help young people exchange cultures with the global community, develop an international mindset and character, and grow into the talent that international cooperation needs.
What we do
01
A Korea experience journey for Koryo-in (ethnic Korean) and multicultural youth. Participants explore the history and culture of Korea first-hand, so they can stand proudly as members of Korean society and grow into diplomats who bridge two countries.
02
The IYCEF SDGs Youth Conference: students research global issues, choose a focus among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, run a year-long project with peers abroad, and present it — including at events held at the National Assembly of Korea.
03
Global education programs that help Korean students learn, write and study abroad with confidence.
