Organizing cultural and education programs for children in South Korea's rural areas

Together with Korean volunteer(s), the international participants will organize and manage cultural and education afterschool programs such as foreign language classes (mainly English) for children of different ages who attend the 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 9 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 to new programs and interested about the different countries in the world. In your free time, you can visit many traditional sites around this area such as mountains, temples, villages, palaces, etc.
