From August 8 to 14, Keimyung University and Daegu held the third Daegu International Youth Festival, which is offered annually to university students in the sister cities of Daegu in China, Vietnam, and Japan. It gave 75 attendees and 63 Korean volunteers a chance to exchange their own traditions by learning Chinese folk songs, Japanese traditional dances, and Vietnamese traditional games. Keimyung University was a sponsor of this event. It worked on scheduling programs such as taekwondo, Korean dance, and samulnori, and performed these in Seongseo campus. 11 Keimyung University students and 52 students of 4 universities in Daegu volunteered to help overseas students in these events. The event's objective was to encourage students to make good relations internationally.

The 75 attendees stayed with Korean families for 2 nights and 3 days, helping them to understand Korean culture by spending time with a Korean family. Not only university students but also Daegu citizens took part in the event. Citizens could volunteer only for the homestay program, but students could volunteer to help in all the events in the festival.

The 75 overseas students stayed at the dormitory of Keimyung University from August 8 to August 11. They toured Daegu, visiting Dongseong Street downtown, Keimyung University, and Daegu World Cup Stadium, as well as taking time to learn each country's culture. On August 11, the overseas students had time to meet their homestay families, and they stayed at their family's house until August 13. On August 14, the event was concluded by having a farewell party at Daegu City Hall.
