Byung-woo Kang - Student from Korea
It was an unforgettable time for me to participate in IVECA, when it was my second year in high school. I interacted with the Colégio Militar de Curitiba School in Brazil. The first activity was a brief introduction, and I was quite surprised by my partner. Because the first sentence I faced was in Korean (Hangeul, Korean alphabet). Read more

We are happy to share with you the principal's remarks from Jeonmin High School in Korea for their Brazilian partner school.
"I believe we are in good times where our imaginations come true as students from different continents can discuss with each other at the same time. We know the word global community. Our planet earth is like a close town. It might seem as if Brazil is very far away in distance but we are breathing the oxygen that the Amazon produces, one-fourth of the entire oxygen of Earth. We also feel delighted as we see and enjoy the positive vibes Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro gives. This is a factor that binds us, that we sympathize with each other, which we take pride for... Please believe in yourself that you all are the future and hope of our global community."

"We have had a wonderful time following the course, and we have all learned deeply from this. Public diplomacy and soft power are two very significant factors in today's connected society… Having known what they are, there is no doubt that this course will help us all in the future and will likely dictate our success."
- A student at the Korea Science Academy
