Project Description
SNAP - Performance
Brilliantly staged, SNAP is a mind-boggling extravaganza of illusion, mime, and comedy from an ensemble of unforgettable South Korean artists that will impress the whole family.
When three tricksters with strange and unusual abilities stumble through a mysterious door, they meet a variety of mystical characters and explore space, time, and the otherworldly. Mixing masterful sleight of hand, physical comedy, and incredible visual effects, SNAP conjures up a marvellous, magical cabaret.
SNAP has been performed around the world, including at the CINARS Biennale, on Broadway at the New Victory Theatre, and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
LEENALCHI + 1300 - Music Performance
Korean alt-pop outfit LEENALCHI are bringing traditional tales into the 21st century with pop, funk, ad dance beats. With their latest album Sugungga, LEENALCHI build excitement by taking tradition and destroying and rearranging elements, creating something new, exciting, and cutting-edge.
With one foot in Korea and one in western Sydney, 1300 are a genre-bending, culture-transcending hip hop outfit like no other. Comprised of rappers rako, goyo, and DALI HART, producer-singer Nerdie and producer pokari.sweat, 1300 bring abrasive Soundcloud rap, sweat-doused electronica, and the feverish pace of 90s breakbeat to the stage in an electrifying performance.

AKF00825 - About Ilsin's unforgettable Doban (steadfast companions)
Grantee: Dr Hea-Jin Park
AKF grant amount: $10,000
Priority area: Cross Cultural Collaboration
Country location: Australia and Republic of Korea
Project Description
A landmark medical institution in Busan recently celebrated 70 years of existence delivering excellence in maternal and neonatal healthcare. Established by the Australian medical missionaries Dr Helen and Sister Catherine Mackenzie, the Ilsin Women's Hospital changed the course of midwifery and obstetrical practices in Korea.
In the making of Ilsin as one of the principal reference maternity centres in Korea, there was a group of unassuming local people - among them, widows of the Korean War, refugees from North Korea and single mothers - who joined the sisters in their vision of bringing quality medical help to those who needed it the most. They worked unfailingly to stem, continue and perpetuate the sisters' ideals. And it is thanks to them that Ilsin continued to thrive even after the sisters' departure from Korea.
This is the story of Ilsin's steadfast companions who gave incalculable aid, assistance and encouragement to the Mackenzie sisters in their mission of building a better society: a mission that brought out the best of Australia and Korea which shows that two countries, through mutual understanding and cooperation, can achieve a lasting outcome that overcomes all imaginable barriers.

AKF00863 - Development of Korean language education in Western Australian schools
Grantee: Curtin University
AKF grant amount: $81,000 over three years
Priority area: Technological, Scientific and Education Innovation
Country location: Australia
Project Description
Korean language will be introduced as an ATAR subject in the WA school curriculum from 2023 onwards. The key aim of this project is to support the development and expansion of primary and secondary school Korean language education in Western Australia. In addition to supporting the teaching of Korean to new cohorts of students in WA through assisting schools to gain external support and coordinating with qualified teachers of Korean, the project team will conduct interviews and policy research with key stakeholders in the state to scope out the key barriers and support needs for successful Korean language education programs.
Recognising the current shortage of Korean language learning opportunities in WA schools, the project will also provide free Korean language education and learning support through Curtin University's Innovative Student Scholars Program (ISSP) to high school students who wish to study for a Korean ATAR but have no such option available in their own school. Subject to satisfactory completion of the program, select year 10, 11, and 12 students may also have the opportunity to engage in tertiary learning of Korean, while gaining Credit for Recognised Learning (CRL) toward their future University degree after high school.

AKF00864 - Envisioning technologies of the future with Australian and Korean children
Grantee: The University of Wollongong
AKF grant amount: $25,000
Priority area: Cross Cultural Collaboration
Country location: Australia
Project Description
How do children envision technologies of the future? Through creative storytelling and crafting, this project will invite children from schools in South Korea and Australia to participate in a series of workshops to design speculative fiction that tell us about what they think digital technologies in 2050 would look like. In exploring these speculative fictions within different contexts, the project hopes to understand children's values and beliefs around technology and how they are culturally situated. Artefacts produced from these workshops will be curated and exhibited in Australia and South Korea to open conversations around how digital technologies of the future can be co-designed with children for children. The exhibitions aim to be sites for cultural exchange where participants can appreciate the similarities and differences in the ways our global societies value and use technology.

AKF00866 - Rare earth mineral recovery from primary and secondary sources
Grantee: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation
AKF grant amount: $25,000
Priority area: Technological, Scientific and Education Innovation
Country location: Australia
Project Description
Rare earth minerals are vital for renewable power generation in a world which is becoming increasingly decarbonised. By continuing with the traditional approach to mining such critical minerals, research has demonstrated that as demand surges, markets will be dominated by countries that have access to available resources. In comparison to other countries (e.g Australia), Korea is resource constrained and to reduce the dependence on imports, Korea adopts an aggressive approach to recycling rare earth metals through innovative science and technological solutions. This project seeks to showcase each countries activities, excellence and directions in characterising, processing and recycling rare earth metals, to share knowledge, and to develop and strengthen partnerships. The proposed bilateral symposium, workshop and field excursions will provide an ideal platform to initiate further planning activities that will be of mutual benefit to both Korea and Australia.

AKF00925 - National Symposium on the future of Australia-Korea School Partnerships
Grantee: International Education Association of Australia
AKF grant amount: $17,000
Priority area: Cross Cultural Collaboration
Country location: Australia
Project Description
IEAA will design and deliver a 'National Symposium on the future of Australia-Korea School Partnerships', which aims to strengthen bilateral education connections in the schools sector. The Symposium will be delivered online and will include an online networking component. Digital recordings of the event and a follow-up report will be made publicly available to share key learnings and deepen impact.
Korea is an important source of international students for Australian higher education as well as university mobility and exchange programs. Australia-Korea schools partnerships, however, have not reached their full potential and are primarily focused on inbound study tours to Australia. Before COVID-19, Australia-Asia school partnerships had been growing, particularly in China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. This engagement provides numerous best practice examples and other case studies for Australia-Korea schools stakeholders to learn from.

Counterpoise brings together three creative organisations, Restless Dance Theatre (Adelaide), Korean Music Project and 29Dong Dance Theatre (Seoul) to create a new hybrid dance theatre piece, Counterpoise. This bold new dance theatre work will explore the similarities and difference between our two cultures, what brings us together and what separates us while celebrating diversity and cultural collaboration on the world stage. Through online technologies and face to face rehearsals, the creative teams will blur the boundaries of separate identities and cultural barriers to create a new work for screen, live music and live performance.

AKF00953 - Australia-Korea partnership on cyber and critical technology
Grantee: The Australian National University
AKF grant amount: $15,000
Priority area: Strategic international relations
Country location: Australia and Republic of Korea
Project Description
Countries the world over are grappling with how to regulate technologies so that we can create a world in which people, technology and the planet thrive.
Technology has become embedded in our lives before technology have been embedded into our legal frameworks. These new technologies bring extraordinary opportunities, but also new challenges, especially with respect to regulation and governance.
This project will support a partnership between the Korean Development Institute (KDI) and the Tech Policy Design Centre (TPDC) at the Australian National University.
Building upon the Australia-Korea Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and the Australia-Korea Memorandum of Understanding on Cyber and Critical Technology Cooperation, KDI and TPDC will conduct joint research and hold public consultations in Australia and Korea to identify specific technologies and policy issues for which Australia and Korea have competitive advantages in cooperating to advance our shared interests.
