Itinerary

Your 8-day journey

Arrive in Seoul on the scheduled program arrival day and transfer to your accommodation. Meet your Team Leader and fellow participants over a welcome dinner and orientation covering the week ahead and what to expect from the school visits.
Depart Seoul for Gyeonggi Province and settle into your accommodation there. Begin the first day of professional and cultural exchange with Korean educators and students.
Continue the school program — observing classes, engaging with students and learning from local teaching practice. The afternoon brings a guided visit to a nearby cultural site such as Hwaseong Fortress, Namhansanseong or a local market.
A farewell morning with host teachers and students. After lunch, visit one more cultural site in the province before returning to Seoul in the late afternoon.
A full day exploring Seoul, taking in Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village, Insadong and Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
A guided visit to the DMZ, one of the most historically and politically significant places on the peninsula, returning to Seoul afterwards.
A day to explore Seoul at your own pace — a jjimjilbang, a hike up Namsan, the cafes of Hongdae or the K-pop district of Gangnam. Your Team Leader can offer maps, suggestions and optional group meet-ups.
Transfer to the airport for onward travel. Airport transfers are included on the scheduled program departure date.
