After a semester-long partnership on "Design AI Application for the Common Good" between Brazil and Korea. The Korean principal shared his warm remarks with the Brazilian students during the final live class on November 25, 2019.


Brazil students,


I am the principal of Jeonmin high school Mr. Jin Hyeong Cho, who loves Brazil nuts.

It is such a great pleasure to meet you all.


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 bonds us that we sympathize with each other which we take pride for.


I hope that you keep on continuing working together, understand cultural issues, share opinions, and debate about future education throughout IVECA programs. Please believe in yourself that you all are the future and hope of our global community.


Thank you

On June 3rd, smiles and cheers reflected virtually between sixth-grade classes from Colégio Americano Del Sur in Guatemala and Eunjin Elementary School in Korea. The students were filled with curiosity and enchantment as they met their partners for their first live class, after a two-month-long collaborative partnership provided by #IVECA International Virtual Schooling.


During this much anticipated live class, students presented their research on different types of geological formations in their countries and how these landforms influence people’s lives both economically and socially. This learning exchange that started asynchronously culminated in a deep discussion in which participants asked questions and analyzed similarities and differences among all the different ways of life in Guatemala and Korea.


Ms.O’Neal and Ms. Kim, social studies and homeroom teachers, were able to assess their students’ performance during the project in different ways including presentation skills, the subject content, inquire-base research and the development of intercultural competence. IVECA had been pleased to support these two schools and appreciate all participants who work with passion to transform a simple geography lesson into a life-changing experience.



On June 12 during the IVECA Virtual Live class, students from Hanil High School in Korea and Maria Luiza Formozinho Ribeiro Public School in Brazil shared plans to improve their communities and implement United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) #16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions) and the defined Target Indicators. Students from both schools began their learning experience by researching current community needs and analyzing problems their countries face. The students hey brainstormed ideas for a solution enlighten by SDG #4 (Quality Education) and #17 (Partnerships for the Goals).


Following these research components, both classes conducted an in-depth discussion about their plans, shared feedback and learned how to improve their ideas. Throughout this Live Class, students helped each other understand how important it is to collaboratively explore solutions and ideas with other cultures. They also realized that several problems are shared by both countries but each deals with them in different ways.


Both Korean and Brazilian students expressed their joy of learning and hope for future collaboration through IVECA. Students’ learning experience was reflected through the closing remarks of teachers and principals from both schools. Principal from Hanil High School, Mr.Young-ui Kim demonstrated great support to the project and encouraged participants, saying:

It is you, the young generation, that will grow into persons in positions to change the world in the future, and I see a bright future ahead of us after seeing you engage in this program throughout the semester.”


Brazilian Teacher Mr. Diego shared great enthusiasm as he conducting a Live Class for the first time:

The Live Class is an unforgettable experience. Our students were able to get to know the SDGs, analyze the problems in our country in search of solutions. Furthermore, they were able to analyze problems and solutions in South Korea as well, which develops empathy, respect, and companionship that humanity needs so much!”
