On Tuesday, August 4, 2015, the Korean Cultural Exchange made their first stop in Akwesasne to the St. Regis Mohawk School. There, about 90 students from the JOM/ABGC Steps to Success Summer Program got a chance to take part in their own cultural exchange.

Groups were formed to take part in some icebreakers.

The day started with some Korean dances in the morning. After, students got nametags with their names done in Korean, then they broke into groups to take part in some ice-breaking activities. After a break for lunch everyone took part in arts and crafts.

They were at Generations Park on Wednesday and today, Thursday, August 6, from 3pm-6pm, for Vacation Bible School. On Friday at 5pm everyone is invited for a cultural exchange at Generations Park.
