1F Cafe Empathy

The first floor of our building is Cafe Empathy. This is where guests check-in and check-out. It is also filled with books, magazines, and movies donated by our supporters, and guests can come down and enjoy them during our operating hours.

Cafe Empathy and the classrooms/small meeting rooms we have on our second floor were made possible with public funds, provided by the Ministry of Security and Public Administration, as well as Daegu City government. 

We often rearrange the Cafe and have hold meaningful events. Some of our past events include lectures hosted by the Daegu and Gyeongbuk Association of Doctors for Humanism, the Daegu chapter of MINBYUN - Lawyers for a Democratic Society, and the U.S. Embassy Seoul. Other small study groups often utilize the first floor Cafe, meeting to study Spanish language and Chinese language.
