The Korean Studies Workshop for American Educators will provide U.S. educators with fully-funded study visits to Korea.  In 2008, the Korean Studies Workshop will send up to 100 secondary school educators from the United States to Korea for a 12-day workshop. Sponsored entirely by The Korea Foundation, the workshop is designed to enhance mutual understanding between the people of Korea and the United States by inviting certain U.S. educators to visit Korea and then share their experiences with fellow Americans upon their return.  The workshop will include lectures, tours to cultural and industrial sites, and meetings with Korean educators and students. Lectures covering the politics, economy, history, culture, and society of Korea will be delivered in English by university professors or other experts.

Up to 100 participants will be divided into two groups, which will take place in late June, July or August, 2008.  The 2008 online application will be available on our website at www.iie.org/ksw by the end of December, 2007.  Contact: Institute of International Education.
