:
The Two Koreas
A Comparative Tour of North - South Divide
PROJECT LOCATION
South Korea and
North Korea
COMMUNITY PARTNER
North Korea and South Korea
Historically there were and are many divides and gaps
within a country or among countries. A specfically
designed tour visiting remarkable places of both North
and South Korea for comparative study of cultural,
socio-economic, political and military circumstances should
emerge students with indepth discussion and consideration
on the notions of reunification, rivalry, industrial and financial
development, censorship and democracy.
Possible Experiential Learning Activities
Throughout the trips, students could be guided to make careful
observation of all the sites and people they visit. Pre-departure,
they should develop an observation plan with specific topics and
foci defined and researched.
Students from diverse background and interests may formulate
their own plan for comparative study. Group presentation and
discussion should be arranged at location and time appropriate
as interim activities.
Students would also be guided to compare and contrast any
related issues concerning China and Hong Kong or China and
Taiwan for another level of comparative study, analysis and
problem solving.
