'Australia Day' was planned from the beginning of the semester through the collaboration of Australian international students at our university and members of the Yonsei Global, Global Day team. The event was notable for its diverse cultural experiences, made possible through partnerships with institutions like the Australian Embassy in Korea, Tourism Australia, and Australian companies such as Mother Nest, Bundaberg, Sanitarium, and Koala Eco, as well as Brief Company.
