Six Korean journalists will visit Washington and Atlanta, GA; and six U.S. journalists will visit Seoul, Busan and the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea. Participants will meet with government officials, local journalists, educators, students and community and business leaders.

All participants will then meet in Seoul for a one-day dialogue to discuss their experiences and how to enhance media coverage of U.S.-Korea issues. 

The program covers ground transportation, lodging and meals.

The deadline is June 30.
