The Age-Based Genomic Screening Team was at KoreaFest 2024 on March 23rd from 11am – 4pm. We loved having the opportunity to talk to see the wonderful dances, cultural performances, and excitement of the crowd at the event. We had over 50 people come to talk to us and hear about the genomic education that we are doing as well as provide some feedback to make them better. We are thankful for Heoak Lee and the rest of the InWave Movement for making this amazing event possible!
Here’s some information about the event from the InWave Movement if you want to learn more and come next year:
“InWave hosted the first Korean festival in the state of North Carolina in February of 2017 and since then has been successfully upholding its mission of ”Celebrating Unity Through Korean Culture.” InWave’s goal is to share the love of all aspects of Korean culture with everyone in the local and global community. For those who may feel hesitant because they may not be familiar with the language or the culture, InWave offers the opportunity to immerse themselves, learn, and connect with Korea. The Korean Wave has become a global phenomenon over the last 10 years and thanks to community support, we are happy to bring back KoreaFest again in 2024!”
