About 1,000 people participated in this competition, including not only domestic Taekwondo practitioners, but also children from multicultural families, orphanage trainees, and group home children from low-income families, creating a place for harmony and sharing.

The competition began with an opening ceremony, followed by Poomsae, Breaking, Taekwondo gymnastics, and demonstration performances, with passionate performances from the participants. After the competition, an awards ceremony and closing ceremony were held, providing time for participating children to share the fruits of their efforts. Participants were able to develop confidence and a sense of community by sharing the spirit of Taekwon across nationalities and backgrounds.

The World Educational Cultural Aid explained that this competition contributed to children from underprivileged backgrounds and multicultural families experiencing healthy growth through sports and to spreading a social atmosphere that respects diversity across cultural barriers.


WECA CEO Bang Jeong-hwan said, “Taekwondo gives children confidence and conveys the true value of sharing through the process of learning and growing together.” He added, “The World Educational Cultural Aid will continue to carry out various cultural and educational activities for the balanced growth of children.”

The World Educational Cultural Aid operates a variety of programs for underprivileged children in educationally underprivileged areas around the world and in Korea, and is known as an international non-profit organization that takes the lead in spreading the culture of sharing and donation.
