Educational and cultural exchange activities for children in Busan

Busan is the second city in Korea. Even though its a very big city, there is a gap between rich and poor. The center has many children who grow up in families with only one parent, so its role is not only to teach the children after school but also to give them a shelter which can protect them until their parents come. Busan is also famous as a port city and there are many foreigners. However there is no chance for the children to exchange cultural experience with them. The local host wants to provide this intercultural experience with the help of the international volunteers.

Project sessions:
June 3 - August 21
September 2 - November 20

Together with Korean volunteer(s), the international participants will organize and manage cultural and education programs such as foreign languages (mainly English), outdoor activities, etc. for the children who attend the local children's center. The children at the center are mainly elementary school students and few middle school students. They normally stay at the center after school, from 2 pm until around 7 pm. Any kind of activities and ideas are welcome, as long as they provide the local children with opportunities for cultural exchange. The local children are very open and interested about the different countries in the world.

Busan is about 4 hours from Seoul by train. It's close to the south coast.

Partial travel reimbursement of 500,000 Won (about USD 360) will be provided to the volunteers at the end of the project in order to support their airfare.
