Korean Exchange Program (29th May - 5th June 2025)

Hosted by Heungdeok High School, Cheongju, South Korea, and accompanied by Ms. Reema Vohra and Ms. Kavita Gandhi, along with ten students from Springdales School, the Korean Exchange Program was a transformative journey that blended education, culture, and heartfelt human connection. Over eight immersive days, students were warmly welcomed into Korean school life—attending classes in science, music, physical education, and even learning K-pop dance—while engaging in rich cultural experiences such as Hanji paper-making, tea ceremonies, and Bibimbap cooking. Visits to historic landmarks like Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bulguksa Temple, and Cheongnamdae deepened their understanding of Korea’s heritage, while homestays with local families offered authentic glimpses into daily life and fostered lasting friendships. Joyful outings, including a trip to Lotte World and a touching farewell dinner, added warmth and celebration to the experience. More than just a cultural exchange, the program nurtured global awareness, personal growth, and a profound appreciation for diversity—leaving every participant with cherished memories and a renewed sense of global citizenship.
