The
school has about 25 students from age 12 to 15 (6th to 7th

seeks to educate young people to respect each other and accept diversity
in life. It also focuses on self-confidence, operant learning,
experiencing various activities (ex. traveling, carpentry, cooking,
building house, discussion, drawing and etc.). It also teaches the spirit
of democracy, humanity and living together harmoniously through various
activities in and out of the classrooms. Through teaching and interacting
with the students, volunteers are expected to provide an environment where
students can learn and understand about other culture.
Work:
The project is aimed to provide the students more chance to experience
different culture and people. This experience will help them develop
global thinking. The volunteers will lead English class (Non-formal),
intercultural classes such as country introduction and language class.
They will be also responsible for participating in and after school
activities such as climbing mountains, traveling with students, language
class, and club activities. They can also join in various school

dates can be according to volunteers’ preference.
Project:
As in many other countries, more and more Korean people are moving to
bigger cities from the rural areas for better job opportunities and proper
cultural institutions. Since the government usually develops
infra-structure depending on the population of the region, many people in
the rural areas are largely isolated from those benefits. The host
organizations for both projects are local churches who organize small
children’s centers to provide educational opportunity for youngsters in
the local community.
Work:
Together with Korean MTV volunteer(s), international volunteer(s) will
organize and manage cultural and education programs such as art, music,
foreign language (mainly English), cooking and etc for children who attend
in the local study centers. The children at the centers are mainly
elementary students with few middle school students. Students stay at the
center after their school from 2 PM and stay until around 7PM.
Any
kind of activities and ideas are welcomed by the host organization as long
as they provide the local children the opportunities of cultural exchange.
The local children are very open and interested about different countries
in the world.
