InKAS would like to cordially invite art pieces of Korean adoptee artists to InKAS' 2nd annual Korean adoptee and Korean artists art exhibition in Seoul, South Korea. One of InKAS' prioritized projects are art related events where adoptees are able to professionally connect with Korean's mainstream social groups. We believe that a strong identity search for adoptees are found not through learning the Korean language and culture but also through meaningful interactions obtained in the Korean adoptee artists & Korean artists’ collaborative art exhibition 2015.
Art is a medium of identity. Allow this opportunity to explore motherland Korea seen through the lens of art.
Our art exhibition hosted in November will be participated by 30 Korean adoptees artists and 30 Korean artists of similar level of artistic establishment. Last year we were able to successfully sell 30% of the 67 art works submitted and generously entire profit was returned to the artists 100%.
Additionally, due to last years success, participants from the art exhibit 2014 will be hosting an additional adoptee art exhibition this September 2015 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
This year’s exhibition gallery will be at the “Ara Art Center” — http://www.araart.co.kr/

Language Bound: Searching for Korean Adoptee English Instructors
Language Bound is a social enterprise that teaches English to children from impoverished backgrounds. As much as knowing English is an asset measured for today’s success in Korea, affording English courses are often reserved for the upper class. By offering higher education of English to low-income children, Language Bound’s goal is to offset Korea’s educational social imbalance while creating more jobs dedicated to Korean adoptees.
What Language Bound is looking for?
Unlike most English institutes many experienced English teachers are familiar with, empirical experience shows that our program differs greatly.
1. Prepare to be patient with many of these children for it may be their first time receiving extra-curricular education apart from school.
2. Acknowledge the difference of the working environment in comparison to other teaching experiences. Language Bound is an institutionalized combination of educational and humanitarian group effort to help expose children to the larger global world.
3. We look for one’s maturity, dependability and commitment not only as employees to Language Bound, but also as teachers to young children in classroom settings.
4. We are looking for someone with the heart and enthusiasm working with children.
5. Finally, you should be available from August to December 2015
What you will find with Language Bound?
No previous teaching experience is needed. Language Bound will train instructors to become competent teacher with our newly adopted teaching method.
If you choose so, we will offer 3 specific work benefits. Hired Language Bound instructors will receive
1) 600,000 KRW per month (16 teaching hours)
2) free Teacher’s Training course, especially on storytelling
3) priority acceptance in all service offered by InKAS
Further details can be shared via email at languagebound@inkas.org.
Qualifications:
- Korean adoptee from overseas
- Proficient English Speaker
- Being able to work 3pm-6pm weekdays; 4 teaching hours per week (Every Tueday & Thursday)

Required Documents:

- A letter of introduction(Write in either English or your native language)
- Document which is reliable proof of the highest level of educational attainment (e.g high school diploma)

Application Process

2) Interview → 3) Training
* The training will consists of 1 night and 2 days of Training Camp and 1 week of Training and Preparation. Both of them will be held in February and will be non-paid (Therefore, hired Language Bound instructors will be paid from March). During Training and Preparation, the teachers will develop teaching materials for the first semester, give a lecture in front of other teachers based on what they learn at Training Camp, and do pre-visiting local children welfare centers in their location.
