Oneworld Now

Oneworld now! Offers summer language and leadership camps in seattle, wa. During the 2023 fiscal year, the camp ran for four weeks from 9 am to 4 pm, and offered modern standard arabic, korean, and mandarin chinese. Students earned 1 year of language credit. The camp focused on fostering language acquisition, intercultural understanding, and a desire for international travel. During the camp, students learned basic writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills in classes using immersion methodology. The camp also introduced students to practices and perspectives of the culture they studied, as well as the leadership skills that will enable them to grow as youth leaders with a global perspective. Students learned through classroom activities, guest speakers, cultural activities, and international meals. The students served were of the same demographics as those in 4a above.
