SkoIwoMtv81-07 Korea Horseman High School 01-May-07 to 01-Aug-07 MTV/YOUTH/TEACH 2 V. Ages 19-40 Fee:$250.00

Project: Korea Horseman High School takes pride in being known as the first choice among students who seek to begin their careers as horse trainers and managers. It is a public high school designed for in depth instruction and exercises about managing and training race horses. The students in this school build their horsemanship skills and eventually seek to be employed in horse managing fields. The school is located in Namwon City of Jeola-buk-do Province, which is about four hours away from Seoul (the capital city). The school is originally founded as a livestock farming school in 1969. As the appreciation for farming and livestock have decreased among young people, the school came close to shutting down. However, in order to maintain the school open, the teachers began to work their way to upgrade the school’s current curriculum with horsemanship skill programs. Eventually in 2002, the school transformed its title to Korea Horseman High School through the government sponsor. In the past few years, the school has earned more recognition, but still lacks in its international programs and interactions. This is the school’s first time to participate in this MTV program and is seeking to develop its international interaction through this project. Volunteers of this project will be the ones who will make a leap toward a new change of the school this year.

Work: Since the school is located in an area where it has limitation in meeting various international people, the project is mainly aimed to provide the students more chance to meet and experience other cultures through international volunteers. We hope that the students will develop global thinking through this project. Volunteers, on the other hand, will have the benefit of getting to know with Korean culture and especially horsemanship skills. In this project the volunteers will lead English classes (Non-formal), intercultural classes such as country introduction and language classes. Volunteers will manage about 15-20 students in one class. Having skills such as dancing, singing, acting, teaching languages (other than English) and other educational purposes can be very helpful. Volunteers will also have opportunity to join in other school activities or class field trips. Details are to be confirmed. The students on their way to participate a festival.
