\"\"In July 2017, Community Central Hall welcomed Yongwan\u00a0<\/strong>Choi<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0(Wayne) a student from the\u00a0Graduate School for Social Innovation Business at Hanshin University in South Korea. Wayne’s internship at Community Central Hall has been a great experience for staff and service users, who were able to learn fascinating things about South Korea.<\/p>\n

Wayne submitted his thesis last week on Civil Community Facilities in South Korea and compares them to those found in Scotland. We would like to congratulate Wayne on the completion of his thesis and wish him all the best for the future!<\/p>\n

Below is Wayne\u2019s post on his internship at Community Central Hall.<\/p>\n

Unforgettable Summer at\u00a0<\/strong>Community Central Hall<\/strong><\/h3>\n

20\/7\/2017 – 14\/8\/2017<\/h4>\n

What famous Scottish things would you introduce to your foreign friends? If someone asks me, I would talk about \u2018bagpipes\u2019, \u2018Irn-bru\u2019, \u2018haggis\u2019\u2026 and mostly about its warm and well-developed community. Thanks to the interesting things and warm people who welcomed me during the internship, I was able to spend an unforgettable summer in Scotland.<\/p>\n

I am a graduate school student in Korea studying cooperatives and social enterprises. Every summer vacation, our school selects a student and supports them on an internship abroad. I was worried because it was the first place, but I could ease my mind thanks to the kind people who helped me on the bus on my way to the dormitory. In Korea, people usually think about British people as silent and blunt. However, I thought about the warmth and kindness of the Scottish people.<\/p>\n

On the first week, the internship began with me looking around CCH. I was impressed by the size of Happy Days Nursery and the service, which is better than the public facilities. It was also interesting to look at the printing process of Footprint, which is a social enterprise as competitive as a profit-seeking company. I thought these efforts and competitiveness are the strengths of CCH.<\/p>\n
