The
Busan Foundation for International Activities (BFIA) operates the 「World Cultural Class」 for Busan citizens to give them an
opportunity to experience various cultures from around the world and understand
foreign languages.
The
program aims to increase cultural exchanges between the citizens of Busan and

multicultural societies.

Brazil, Venezuela, Indonesia, Nepal, the Philippines, Vietnam, Russia, Iran,

lecturers.
