AYFN Academy, a Yogyakarta-based youth organization, runs a short cultural-immersion travel program in South Korea. Selected participants spend 6 days and 5 nights on guided cultural and educational activities, sightseeing, and local exchange. The program operates on a paid basis, with a competitive scholarship track that waives the program fee in full and contributes toward flights; recipients still cover their own visa, insurance, and personal costs.
