KSCPP Projects in Detail
v Publication and distribution of Korean Sprit and Culture Series:
Since 2005, KSCPP has been publishing books on Korean history and arts, such as Admiral Yi Sun-sin, King Sejong the Great, Chung Hyo Ye and Fifty Wonders of Korea Volume 1 & 2 in English, French and German. These books have been distributed to schools, colleges and other institutions throughout the United States, Germany, United Kingdom and various other countries. As of 2010, we have printed 683,000 copies in total. In addition, to introduce Korean food more effectively, we have published a Korean cook book, Taste of Korea: Korean Cuisine Full of Wisdom and Nature.
v Presentation on Korean history and arts:
Since 2007, we have organized presentations on Korean arts and cultural assets for the general public at schools, colleges, libraries, museums and companies. A number of schools and companies such as Merchant Marine Academy, Marist High School, City of Pennington, Boehringer Ingelheim and Telekurs Financial have requested such presentations from us. In March 2009, we invited the members of Pacific Asian Museum and K-12 teachers in Pasadena, CA for a similar presentation.
Every two weeks, we have hosted brunch meetings for the people of Pennington, New Jersey. Traditional Korean food is served at the meeting and participants watch a documentary on Korean heritage.
v Multimedia Materials on Korean History and Culture:
KSCPP has been producing and distributing multimedia materials on Korean history and culture to high schools and other educational institutions such as museums. As of 2009, we have published 9 different DVDs about Korean heritage. In total, 22,000 copies of DVDs have been made available in English and German.
v Essay Contests: We have held essay contests to attract more interest in Korean history and culture. Since the spring of 2006, we have held 5 nationwide essay contests. About 3,000 people participated in our essay contests and 43 winners have been selected.

Information on KSCPP and Details of the Event are as follows:
Introduction
KSCPP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is dedicated to raising awareness of Korean history and culture. In appreciation of the United State’s support for Korea during the Korean War and in the years that followed, KSCPP began to introduce the history and culture of Korea in the United States in 2005. We distribute free literature and give presentations at museums, universities, schools and companies, for those who are interested in learning not only about Korea, but also about its culture & art generally.
It is a non-profit organization staffed by volunteers, and all literature and events are provided free of charge.
Presentation on “Fifty Wonders of Korea and Korea Today: The Hidden Treasures of Korean Art and Modern Korea”
We would propose an event which aims to introduce the audience to the relatively unknown but truly unique and extraordinary works of Korean artifacts such as the Sarira Reliquary of Kameunsa Temple, the Sokkuram Grotto, and the Koryo Buddhist paintings. These works bear a common theme of ‘hidden beauty’ – in each work; the true value only becomes visible on a close inspection by the viewer.
We would also like to show another short film on Korea’s
amazing industrial achievements after the Korean War.
The two films will perfectly complement each other in that, after viewing both films, the audience will come to understand that Korea’s modern day economic success is deeply rooted in its long tradition of rich culture and artistic legacies.
