Pangaea Project in SeoulEvery once in a month on Saturday, about 10-15 students are coming to the Seoul Youth Center for Cultural Exchange(Mizy Center). Our Center is working as a Korean partner of Pangaea Project.
I am Cathy Song and I am working in the Center as a program specialist. Before I got this job, I never heard about the Pangaea project. I still remember when I first met, Yumi and Toshi. They came to Korea to meet me and to have the program in Seoul, Korea. When I heard the purpose of the project, I started feeling excited and I thought it would be really good project for primary school students.
For the primary school students, the cultural exchange programs or
international exchange programs would be sound like difficult and
impossible. Even if they are interested in another culture and another
world, they would find difficulties to communicate with other foreign
students.
Thus, my impression on this Pangaea Project was strong and interesting. And I was right, our students have great time while they sent their messages to their new friends and they had extremely funny time while they can really see other students and play games with them on Webcam activity day. It was amazing how fun they could have while they are playing and talking with foreign students using the cute and funny pictons.
I could imagine that our students can communicate with world wide friends without having any difficulties and without having other prejudices about other countries. I think this program will work as a bridge for the young children to move towards the world and meet the global friends.
