Volunteaching - make a difference while doing what we do best !
|
Since 2016 we have been developing an educational initiative with the Pyongyang College of Tourism in the DPRK (North Korea).
This college of higher education prepares young North Korean students for a career as tour guides for foreign visitors. The students follow a five-year course that includes English and Chinese classes, as well as courses in Tourism Management and Tourism Administration.
In the summer of 2016 Ronny became the first ever foreign lecturer at this college, and since then he has been working on expanding the English teaching program and on preparing to invite more teachers of English and Chinese to join him in this initiative. |
|
- Teachers of English as an additional language are invited to join Ronny during his annual teaching stint in Pyongyang
- All the teaching is done on a voluntary basis and teachers need to fund their own trips
- Teachers can work at the College for one full week or for two full weeks
- Teachers will receive a teaching assignment - based on a negotiated agreement that matches the teacher's experience and skills with the students' needs
- Teachers will receive a detailed briefing in Beijing prior to departure for North Korea. This briefing will help us ensure that everything runs smoothly during the visit
- Teachers are responsible for their own travel to and from Beijing, as well as for their accommodation and other expenses
- MIH Unlimited, our travel agency partner and the Administration of the Pyongyang College of Tourism have the final say in the selection process and in inviting teachers to come and work at the college
