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 was originally founded as a livestock farming school. However as the appreciation for farming and livestock have decreased among young people, the school transformed its curriculum to train young horsemen. In the past few years, the school has earned more recognition, but still lacks in its international programs and interactions. The school is looking forward to develop its international interaction through this MTV project. Volunteers of this project will be the ones who will make a leap toward a new change of the school.
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.
Volunteers will mainly lead English or Japanese classes (Non-formal), intercultural classes such as country introduction and language classes. There are about 15-20 students in one class. Having skills such as dancing, singing, acting, teaching languages (preferably English and Japanese) and other educational purposes can be very helpful. Volunteers will also have opportunity to join in other school activities or class field trips.
Speciality of this programme:
Volunteers of this project will have three months free course of horseback riding. The school teachers there will kindly guide and instruct the volunteers with horsemanship skills. If volunteers are fond of horses, and love outdoor activities, this opportunity is perfect for them and will give them memorable experiences.
Qualifications of Volunteers:
• Inclination toward animals especially, horses (Strongly Recommended). • Previous volunteer project experiences with teenagers (preferably with high school students). • Ability to teach and speak in English or Japanese (Non-formal teaching). • Interest about Korea (learning the language and cultures in local areas). • Skills to manage club activities (eg. music, dance, sports, theatre etc). • Interest in learning horsemanship skills. • Initiative and active personality. • Flexibility / Positive mind.
