Peace Board is a refugee information project run by Migration for Asia’s Peace (MAP). It was created to help people who are preparing to apply for refugee status in Korea, or who are already living here, overcome language barriers and a lack of accessible information. The series explains the key topics you need for daily life in Korea — including refugee applications, Korea Immigration Service matters, healthcare, education, and employment — in clear, easy-to-follow videos.
