Deadline: November 2nd, 2007 Extended! Apply by Nov. 27
Every year, the Korea Society, in conjunction with the Los
Angeles-based Pacific Century Institute, coordinates Project Bridge: a
yearlong intercultural outreach program for high school juniors and
seniors. For Project Bridge 2007-2008, sixteen students will be
selected from New York City and Los Angeles to take part in a yearlong
series of bi-weekly meetings, a weekend retreat and culminate in a
joint 10-day study tour to Korea. The participants will meet regularly
for educational workshops focusing on topics such as Korean language,
history, folktales, architecture, modern Korea and the 1992 riots in
Los Angeles-known in Korean as Sa-I-Gu. The objective of these
activities is to help the participants gain insight into Korea, learn
leadership skills and develop intercultural understanding. The
highlight of Project Bridge is a fully subsidized ten-day study tour in
Korea which is held in April during the Department of Education's
Spring Recess and includes visits to historical sites, the
Demilitarized Zone and a home stay with Korean high school students.
Project Bridge 2007-2008 is now accepting applications. High school
students who will be juniors or seniors during the 2007-2008 school
year are eligible to apply. Space is available for eight students from
New York City and eight from Los Angeles. A position is also available
to a New York City high school teacher interested in working as a group
leader for the program.
- New York Student Deadline Extened to November 27
- Los Angeles Student Deadline Extended to November 27
