Workshop: "Finding the Korean Voice in K-12 Teaching: Introducing Korean Culture for Educators"

Wednesday, June 23, 2004
10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
University of California Berkeley

The exuberant arts and culture of Korea provide powerful tools for enriching K-12 teaching across the curriculum. Voices from Korean literature, music, and society offer new perspectives on how individuals and society respond to the joys and sorrows of modern life. This teachers' seminar will address such questions as:

• What do Korean poets write about in their poems?
• How might we best listen to the sounds of Korean music?
• How should we understand Korean literature as a unique voice in 'world literature'?
• How did the occupation of Korea by Japan change the way Koreans think about themselves and the world?

The seminar is free and open to all interested educators.
Korean lunch and resource materials included.
Advance registration required.
Travel grants of up to $100.00 are available for out-of-area educators.
