Haesong To The World

This year, Incheon Haesong Middle School had a meaningful event.

Last year, by signing student exchange program M.O.U  with Northeast Kings Education Centre(NKEC) in

Canada Nova Socotia state, the student exchange program began.

Last September 18th, Incheon Haesong Middle School's principal, Won-Jin Gang and Ms.Hyunsuk Yoo, You-Jung Han visited Annapolis Valley Office of Education and Northeast Kings Education Centre(NKEC) and signed M.O.U with Gregory Fox, the principal of NKEC and all the teachers. Incheon Haesong Middle School, which is located in Yeonsu international education hot place, is in progress of 2015 Yeonsu global network(Raising Haesong Teen Diplomat) with supporting of Yeonsu district office. And signed international students exchange cooperation M.O.U and began to have mutual exchanges.

According to these two school's M.O.U, March 16th, 2016, five Canada NKEC students, one

teacher, one representative of mom, seven of them visited Korea with international exchange

schedule of 14 days. They did homestay in each of Haesong diplomat's house for 13 days and

experienced Korean family and also experienced Korea's traditional culture and Korean

student's lives by various programs.

 <<< These friends enjoyed playing the Sogeum during the Sogeum class.

 <<< They also had pottery class with Incheon Haesong Middle School students

        making their own potteries.

 

 <<< It was Incheon tour with Incheon Haesong Middle School's English Newspaper Club.

       They went various spots of Incheon such as Incheon fairy tale village, Chinaa Town,

        Jayu Park and had a chance to experience Incheon's feeling and culture.

 <<< The tea ceremony class was placed at Sinsong Middle School. We wore

        beautiful Hanbok and learned the tea cermony and how to bow.

  <<< It's the tour for Kia Sohari Factory and Samsung Innovation Museum with Incheon

        Haesong Milddle School English Play Club. By this tour, we could experience

        incredible development of Korean industry.

 

 <<< It's the group photo right after enjoying Korean traditional music, NongAk on

       the day of Yong-In Tour. During the afternoon, we had a great time at Everland.

 <<< These pictures are from the day of Seoul Tour. On the day of Seoul Tour, we wore

       beautiful Hanbok and braided our hair with Dangi and flowers. Then we went Bukchon

       Hanok Village, Gyeongbok Palace and had a great chance to experience our

      culture and history.

 

  <<< It's the picture of Canada Day. On this day, Canadian friends introduced

        Canada's region, culture and many other things to Haesong Middle School

         using their Prezi.

  

During the time of 2 weeks, which could be long or short, even our nationality, culture,

appearances are all different, we had a preciou time understanding and considered each other.

So it left a lot of desired when we were sending our Canadian friends back.

When my Canadian friends told me that at first they didn't know about Korea at all, but

after the 2 weeks in Korea they saw a lot of things and felt a lot of tings. When they go back

to Canada they want to tell about Korea to their friends because they loved all things.

When they told me this, I felt proud of myself. As I'm looking foward one month later, we,

Haesong Diplomats are going canada and meeting each other again. I hope Incheon Haesong

Middle School and NKEC's great relationship and exchanges could be maintained from now on.
