The Cultural Meet and Greet was successfully held on January 21, 2026, at the National Youth Witnessing Center in partnership with 서울남부 금천교회 AMT (Align Membership Training). The activity aimed to strengthen friendship, promote cultural exchange, and foster meaningful connections between Filipino youth and members of the Korean AMT team through interactive activities and cultural presentations.

The program opened with an orientation and welcome message delivered by Engr. Seung Young Miles Fernandez, who warmly welcomed all participants and explained the purpose of the gathering. He emphasized the value of unity, openness, and mutual respect in building lasting relationships across cultures.

This was followed by a “Get to Know You” activity, titled Pass the Gift, where participants introduced themselves in a fun and engaging manner. The activity helped break the ice and created a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, encouraging everyone to actively participate.

Participants then took part in team and pair discussions, which provided opportunities for deeper conversations, personal sharing, and cultural exchange. During this session, AMT members prepared and personally gave small gifts to their Filipino partners, expressing gratitude, goodwill, and sincerity. This gesture added a heartfelt dimension to the discussions and further strengthened the bonds formed between participants.

The program continued with cultural presentations from both teams. The Korean Team Presentation featured a dance performance to “What Makes You Beautiful” and a song performance of “Country Roads,” showcasing their creativity and talents. This was followed by the Filipino Team Presentation, which presented the song “Hawak Kamay,” expressing Filipino values of unity, support, and togetherness.

After the presentations, all participants joined in a Unity Dance, a collaborative activity that allowed everyone to move together in harmony, symbolizing cooperation, friendship, and shared joy across cultures.

The gathering then transitioned into a One Heart Prayer, where participants came together in a moment of reflection and unity, offering prayers for harmony, friendship, and continued cooperation.

The activity concluded with a shared lunch, where participants ate together in teams. This time of fellowship further strengthened relationships and allowed for informal conversations, laughter, and the deepening of friendships formed during the program.

The Cultural Meet and Greet concluded in a warm and joyful atmosphere, successfully fostering cultural appreciation, unity, and lasting connections among all participants.
