Seoul City is planning to differentiate the Seoul English Village, Kwanak Camp, from the other English villages and make it a representative brand of all the English ones. The Kwanak Camp is located near Kwanak Mountain and Naksungdae Park, so its priority is given to nature-friendliness. That is why they invited public architects and consulted local environmentalists and ecologists. The camp is equipped with 30 classrooms for hands-on and small group activities. The entire facility can accommodate 300 students with the walls and floors made of wood, an environmentally friendly material. It will be the most advanced and environmentally friendly one. Activity-oriented programs will be conducted, in the hands-on and activity classrooms, in order to invite students' active participation. Long-term, the program hopes to replace overseas study and will allow students to commute back and forth from their homes. The educational goal of the camp is to instill a global perspective through the teaching of other cultures. The plan, of making the area one of lifelong education, will be achieved by linking the camp with the excellent educational infrastructure of Seoul National University in Kwanakgu.
