KOREAN
Last year saw the beginning of the Korean Society. Exceeding
our expectations, we were even nominated for Best New
Society at the Stars Awards. This year we intend to surpass
the success of last year with even more creative weekly events
encompassing all that Korea has to offer. Korea is a country
with a rich history, as well as popular culture. Our aim is to
bring together those who already have an interest in Korean
culture as well as those who simply want to learn about
something unique. This society offers the chance to engage
in various events from food tasting, film nights and language

exchanges with our wonderful Korean students. Every week
we aim to push our creativity in our events so that we can
offer a place for students to take their interest or curiosity to
like-minded people while having as much fun as we can. This
year, we want to show even more people who are interested
in learning about something new, just how wonderful Korea
really is through celebrating its extensive culture and national
celebrations such as Chuseok. What we can promise is a
slightly different society that might spark your interest in
something you didn’t even know about, and have a great
time doing it.

annual model Dáil and Government Cup. The branch is active
nationally also, from a trip to the Houses of the Oireachtas, to
Labour Youth National Meetings and events, to Labour Party
Conference and policy fora. In the coming year UCC Labour will
continue to campaign on important issues of equality and fairness
in Irish society. This will manifest itself in an active pro-choice
stance and the continued support of workers’ rights and those of
the unemployed and underprivileged. We look forward to a great
year for the society and all are welcome to play a part in it.
