History
FIGT Korea wa the first international affiliate to be approved by the FIGT Board of Directors on November 5, 2010. Earlier in July 2010, Isabelle together with five interested individuals, hosted the TCK Project 2010, a seminar at Ilmin Culture Center in central Seoul. TCK Project 2010 continued in subsequent months as a monthly dinner at varying locations whilst spreading the word of its existence and gauging the public response of TCKs in Korea. FIGT Korea has since organized various events including monthly seminars, monthly lunches for expat women in transition, TCK dinners, TCK mentoring, TCK movie nights, TCK summer and winter workshops, TCK panel discussions and presentations at international schools and local expat communities.
