The korfball club from Seoul National University of Education (SNUE KC) arrived in Taiwan from January 14th to 20th, 2024, for a collaborative practice and skill enhancement session with the korfball team from National Taipei University of Education (NTUE Korfball Team). The exchange marks the resumption of the collaborative program, which was temporarily halted due to the pandemic, following SNUE KC's last visit in 2020.
In addition to skill exchanges, NTUE Korfball Team arranged a day of immersive cultural exploration in Jiufen for SNUE KC, providing the opportunity for Korean players to learn about and experience local Taiwanese culture. Including tasting delicious Taiwanese cuisines, tour of Jiufen and Shifen Old Street, and releasing sky lanterns. The trip has not only enriched Korean players' understanding of Taiwanese culture but has also created cherished memories that will undoubtedly contribute to the enduring bond between the two teams.
Every player from both universities contributed to mutual growth during this rare collaborative korfball exchange. The camaraderie among the players deepened through shared experiences on and off the court. This collaborative korfball event served as a festive celebration of friendship, once again adding an emotional and inspiring chapter to the story of international korfball exchanges.
