| OUR EDUCATION INITIATIVE |
|
|
The Pyongyang Project, founded in 2009, is a project under East West Coalition, a Canadian non-profit organization that pioneers a grassroots approach to engaging the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) through knowledge exchange programs.
Our mission is straightforward: to forge greater academic cooperation and cultural exchange between North Koreans and Westerners.
We firmly believe that peaceful engagement, dialogue and cooperation is the most direct way to build trust, promote mutual respect, and lay the foundation for peace and prosperity between North Korea and the global community.
We invite Western students and academics to North Korea to participate in short-term courses focusing on Korean language (조선말) acquisition, consensus building and conflict resolution, as well as arrange cultural visits and student exchange activities in Pyongyang. In exchange, we facilitate targeted academic training programs in agriculture, food sustainability and medical science for North Korean professors and young scholars in the West.
Through this type of knowledge exchange, The Pyongyang Project is working to prepare a future generation of Korean and Western thinkers for a modern, ever changing world. |
