South Korea’s Jeju Island is home to a unique network of trails – Jeju Olle – that are built and maintained by local residents. The natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the 437km of trails have attracted hikers from across South Korea and the world to the island, revitalizing the local economy in the process. Join us on January 31, as we hear from its founder Ashoka Fellow Myung-sook Seo about the origin story of Olle trails, the unique way she has mobilized trail-makers across the island and the culture of healthy ageing it is fomenting.
