[Korea.net News, Society, January 23 2008] Cartoons helping foreigners adapt to Korea

Cartoons and comic books are helping migrant workers in Korea – or induce a smile at the very least. Animated shorts and a multilingual comic book on Korean cooking have been released in English, Chinese, Vietnamese and Taglog.

Led by Jang Young-ran of Cultural Action, a non-profit organization run in cooperation with a cartoon company and the Association of Korean Independent Film & Video, a group of foreign volunteers have unveiled the results of four months of translation and work.
