Regular ZOOM videoconferencing sessions in English which you are invited to by email
Building strong, sustainable partnerships
Students will be able to grow their
Global awareness and competence
Intercultural knowledge, skills and understanding
ICT skills
Communication skills and collaboration skills
Teacher training and support with resources and technology will be provided.
This project is primarily focused on cultural exchange, welcoming participation from schools of all levels (primary, intermediate, or secondary). If students have sufficient proficiency in Korean, there is an option to incorporate a language component into the exchange.
