South Korea Service Tour

Day 3: Seoul

• Spend the majority of your day taking part in an enriching volunteering experience in the local Seoul community. Activities range from assisting in providing food and resources to those in need, or helping to raise awareness of environmental issues. [Note: these activities can be tailored to your own requirements. Email us info@thelearningadventure.com to learn more.]
• Embark on a scenic cruise of the Han River, which runs through the centre of the city. You’ll take in the views all the way up to the Banpo Bridge, which turns into a colourful spectacle in the evening.

Day 4: Nami Island

• Today, you’ll leave Seoul for Gapyeong, ready to spend a day on the beautiful Nami Island. Located in the Han River, the island is known as one of the most scenic parts of the country, and is now home to a number of enriching recreational activities. Spend some time exploring the riverside paths and stunning gardens, and a grab a bit of local food from one of the many cafés and restaurants.
• After this, you’ll move to your second base on the Korea service tour, Hongcheon. Once settled, you’ll be introduced to your remaining activities and projects.

Day 5: Hongcheon

• Learn more about Korean culture with a sustainable food and nutrition class. Here, you’ll try a selection of Korea’s most famous cuisines, made mostly from seasonal and local produce. Throughout, the expert leader will teach students about reducing food waste, and the environmental impacts of food processing.
• Head on an adventure with your group as you enjoy a rip-roaring inflatable tubing experience on the Hongcheon River.
• Take part in the TLA quiz! Test your students’ learning with our fun interactive quiz, giving you a chance to get some feedback on the trip so far and work on team-building skills.

Day 6: Hongcheon & Hanam

• Though many people come to Hongcheon to enjoy the the warm waters of the river, not everyone is as considerate about leaving the area the way they found it. Today, spend some time volunteering in the local community, helping to clean the river banks and raise awareness of the need to conserve the area.
• On the way back to Seoul, you’ll stop via Hanam. In this city, you’ll visit Hanam Union Park – a unique solution to a normally visually undesirable facility. This is a park with a twist – it sits on top of a huge waste management site! Learn all about the area, and pay a visit to the Union Tower for some great views.
• On your last night in Korea, you’ll have a chance to reflect on your experiences. In this session, students can discuss their highlights, digest new ideas, and consider how they have developed themselves.

Day 7: Farewell

Sadly, today marks the end of your Korea service tour. You’ll transfer back to Incheon, ready to depart home.
