[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Hong Jeonghwan] “I want to discuss with foreign friends on Zoom and introduce a lot about Korean culture.”

Ulsan Seonggwang Girls' High School is starting international exchange through online classes with Redeemer Lutheran College in Australia.

Redeemer Lutheran College is a private school located in Brisbane, Australia, offering education from elementary to university levels.

Seonggwang Girls' High School signed an international exchange MOU with this school on the 31st of last month and plans to hold four online exchange sessions.

The international exchange, with topics such as food, language, K-pop, geography, and sports, will be conducted alternately by both schools. Using the online video conferencing tool Zoom, students will actively lead everything from presentations to discussions.

Seonggwang Girls' High School and Redeemer Lutheran College have already held several preparatory meetings via video calls and plan to have four online exchange sessions including the signing ceremony.

Student Lee Seonju, who will participate in the classes, said, “I never thought about international exchange because of COVID-19, but I’m excited to think that I can have classes and discussions with foreign friends on Zoom. Although my foreign language skills are a bit weak, I want to prepare hard and introduce a lot about Korea’s wonderful culture.”

Choi Eun-sook, principal of Seonggwang Girls' High School, said, “Through educational and cultural exchanges, this will be a valuable program providing a good opportunity to develop qualities and abilities as global citizens who understand and respect other cultures and to acquire international sensibility.”
