The Global Exchange Project for Teachers (GEPT) is a collaborative initiative between the Jeonbuk State Office of Education and Pathways to Cross-Cultural Understanding (PCCU), designed to promote creativity, global competence, and multicultural understanding among educators. In 2025, GEPT launched its pilot program with two art teachers, Nicolette Hernke and Gahwi Han. Through this pilot, the teachers exchanged lesson plan ideas and implemented each other’s approaches in their own classrooms, creating a meaningful cross-cultural teaching experience. Below, you can explore the results of this cross-cultural teaching exchange.
Original lesson plan: Visual culture & History and cultural heritage
Visual Culture around Jeonju City - Instruction
- Learn what Visual Culture is
- Search for visual cultural works that exist in Jeonju.(ex. Bus stations, sculptures, and murals...)
- Suggest producing an artwork: "If you were an artist working in Jeonju, how would you create(change) a visual culture that symbolizes Jeonju?"
