Overview
Last August, IDEASCOPE successfully hosted <The Beginning of Writers, Book Talk Season 1: After All, My Heart>, supported by the Yeongdeungpo Cultural Foundation in Seoul, South Korea. In this event, four new writers <๊ฟ๋์ kum-Kkeu-Jak (Dream Scribblers)> shared their dreams and spent meaningful time with local residents of Yeongdeungpo. The event received great feedback from participants, who praised it as a valuable and beneficial experience.
Building on this success, we are expanding the horizon to a global book talk concept, allowing participants from anywhere in the world to join online. <The Beginning of Writers, Book Talk Season 2> is themed "Your Daily Life Becomes a Book," showcasing how people from diverse countries and backgrounds can transform their unique stories into books.
