DMZ in the Korean peninsula! War and Peace. Divosion and Understanding. Antagonish, and Cooperation. We learn “Peace and Life” from the DMZ spot, and from its history.
We have had many Korean applicants so far, but are looking to have more international students participate so we can share different perspectives and learn and grow from one another.
Please apply if you are interested in participating, and please pass this information to anyone who may be interested.
Thank you.
