IKAA hires GAJ Productions for Gathering 2007

GAJ Productions is excited to announce the most recent project to be filmed in Seoul, Korea. Hired by IKAA (International Korean Adoptee Associations) to film the largest gathering of Korean adoptees. Over 600 Korean Adoptees from around the world (over 17 different countries) will return to their homeland at the beginning of August 2007 “to build bridges between Korea, Korean adoptees, and adoptive countries.”

“The Gathering 2007 will be larger in scale [than previous Gatherings] and will present participants with a program that includes the Adoptee World Cup at the Seoul Race Park, the ArtGathering at Kyunghee University, the Research Symposium and Workshops at Dongguk University, a Fashion Show, social activities and other events encompassing both traditional and contemporary Korean cultural elements.”

“Formally established in 2004, IKAA is the largest existing network of international Korean adoptees, reaching out to thousands worldwide. The IKAA Network was created to better serve the international Korean adoptee community, to promote the exchange of ideas and information, and build bridges between Korea, Korean adoptees, and adoptive countries.”

GAJ Productions is proud to be a part of this Gathering and looks forward to documenting the stories of this community and event in Seoul, Korea.
