Seoul declared city of design

The capital of South Korea has become the “City of Design” in the framework of a special UNESCO project. Seoul received this title due to its historical and cultural heritage and the potential of creative citizens. The United Nations Organization for Science, Education and Culture 6 years ago introduced a special program that helps to improve the economic, cultural and social situation of world cities. Every year, a leader is chosen in a particular field: cinema, literature, craft, media, folk art, design, cooking and music. Seoul’s new title opens up many opportunities for the city. UNESCO will host many events in the South Korean capital. And on the UN website you can find the program of holidays.
