The students will participate in regular classes and dormitory (homestay) life at Hoptrup Efterskole & Runum Efterskole, and experience various cultural activities such as exploring historical sites in Denmark.

Through this, it is expected that the students will broaden their international perspectives, improve their foreign language skills, and learn understanding and respect for other cultures.

Shinan-gun provides opportunities for building international networks, self-development, and strengthening independence and adaptability through the Denmark language training program, offering a chance to directly experience Denmark’s unique educational system and rich history and culture.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “Through this program, I hope the students will broaden their international perspectives, improve their foreign language skills, and learn understanding and respect for other cultures,” adding, “It will strengthen the students’ international mindset and lay the foundation for them to grow into future international leaders.”
