Project Bridge 2007-2008 Application

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, 16 students from New York City and Los Angeles were selected to take part in a yearlong series of bi-weekly meetings, and a weekend retreat that culminate in a joint 10-day study tour to Korea. The educational workshops focused 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 was to help the participants gain insight into Korea, learn leadership skills and develop intercultural understanding. The highlight of Project Bridge was 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 selected eight high school juniors and seniors from New York City and eight from Los Angeles. One New York City high school teacher was selected to work as a group leader for the program.
