During the month of October, ASEAN-Korean Centre(AKC) had about 60 students from Joongrang Middle School and Seocheon Middle School participating in its School Tour Program, where students were able to enjoy special lectures pertaining to ASEAN member states and gained a glimpse of what it would be like working in an intergovernmental organization.
