Ilchi Lee founds school to teach about Korean culture

Jun 28 2011 Published by under Lifelong Learning

The Korean culture has a lot to offer to the world in terms of knowledge, art and philosophy. In order to make these teachings more accessible to people, Ilchi Lee recently founded the Korean Institute for Culture Studies, or Kookhakwon, which is run out of Cheonan City, South Korea.

The Institute specializes in the traditional teachings of Korean history and philosophy. It began as a non-profit institution in 2002 as part of a movement of popularizing traditional Korean learning.

Ilchi Lee is known for spreading the principles of this culture to the world through his own lessons. He says that by focusing on mind-expanding efforts, including meditation and yoga, an individual may gain greater knowledge about themselves and the world around them than they could ever hope to learn from books.

However, the lessons offered at the institute go well beyond this. They teach students about the traditional underpinnings of these types of ideas. Students may gain insight into the functioning of the societies that gave rise to these ideas. Through this process, spiritual growth may be just around the corner.

Ilchi Lee teaches the importance of brain education and that it is important that individuals work in order to push their minds to full potential in order to fully understand their trade.

When pursuing an advanced degree, some people choose a major that offers a number of opportunities, in order to ensure that they have higher chances of employment within a difficult market. The unemployment rate is so high, having credentials that can fit into a number of positions could be key.

Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) announced that it will offer a new bachelor's of arts degree in communications with concentrations in public relations and professional writing. The curriculum will be offered completely online as a way to help nontraditional students, who may not otherwise have the chance to attend school, reach a further education attainment.
