On Sunday, July 20, 2025, SAMBA-CORÉE reached another important milestone in its proximity strategy by organizing a large-scale outing to E-World amusement park in Daegu. This event, carried out in close collaboration with the representatives of the Southern Zone, was specifically designed to meet the expectations of the Gabonese community living in the southern part of the peninsula. By selecting this emblematic location, the association established a strong point of connection for members residing in Daegu and Busan, affirming that the dynamism of SAMBA-CORÉE extends far beyond the capital region and radiates throughout the entire Korean territory.
The primary objective of the day was to break geographical isolation and strengthen the sense of belonging among members living outside Seoul. Thanks to the direct involvement of local representatives, a warm and welcoming environment was created where students and professionals from the South could reconnect, exchange experiences, and build lasting bonds in a family-like atmosphere. By placing entertainment at the heart of the initiative, SAMBA-CORÉE sought to offer a festive pause celebrating community solidarity, while also identifying the specific needs of members outside the capital in order to better adapt future regional initiatives.
The day at E-World unfolded under the banner of energy and camaraderie. From the moment the park opened on July 20, participants enjoyed its numerous attractions and fairy-tale settings, providing countless opportunities for memorable group photos. The atmosphere was driven by a contagious sense of joy, made possible by seamless logistical coordination between the central Board and the Southern delegates. The highlight of the event was a collective gathering during which future projects for the “Southern Zone” were discussed in a relaxed and open setting, free from everyday constraints.
The outcomes of this initiative are extremely promising and validate the zone-based management model adopted by the association. The success of the outing demonstrated a genuine demand for decentralized activities and reinforced the legitimacy of local representatives, who were instrumental in making the event a success. On a human level, the day strengthened fraternity among Southern members, while the visual content generated portrayed a united and thriving Gabonese community across Korea, enhancing the association’s image on digital platforms.
From a financial perspective, SAMBA-CORÉE applied its active support policy to ensure broad participation despite geographical distance. The association covered 50% of entrance and meal expenses for all contributing members. In recognition of their commitment, those who coordinated regional logistics alongside the Southern representatives, as well as members who actively promoted the event, were granted free participation. This funding model ensured accessibility while rewarding local organizational efforts.
In conclusion, the July 20 outing to E-World was a complete success and sent a strong message to all members living in southern Korea. SAMBA-CORÉE warmly thanks the representatives of the Southern Zone for their exemplary mobilization efforts, as well as all participants for their enthusiasm. This event lays the groundwork for a stronger regional structure and confirms that SAMBA-CORÉE is one united family, from the north to the south of the peninsula.
