ISUS Field Trip International School Urban Sciences 2025 In 2025, the ISUS field trip was held on October 25 at Seoul Forest, offering a more relaxed and interactive experience. The event was organized as a potluck, where students brought and shared traditional foods from their home countries. This created a unique opportunity to experience diverse cultures through cuisine and encouraged students to take pride in their backgrounds while learning about others. In addition to the potluck, various recreational activities were arranged, allowing students to actively participate and enjoy their time together. These activities fostered laughter, teamwork, and closer connections among participants. The combination of cultural exchange and engaging programs made the 2025 field trip a memorable and enjoyable experience for all. 2024 A number of meaningful experiences were shared in 2024. On October 11, the annual ISUS field trip was held, bringing students together for both outdoor activities and structured networking. Participants hiked up to the summit of Namsan, enjoying the autumn scenery and panoramic views of Seoul, and also took part in a dedicated networking session at a reserved hotel venue. In this more formal yet comfortable setting, students engaged in conversations, exchanged perspectives, and strengthened their connections. This combination of physical activity and organized networking created a well-balanced experience, fostering both meaningful interaction and a strong sense of community among ISUS participants from diverse backgrounds. 2023 A significant number of changes have occurred in 2023. The social distancing and mask mandates implemented due to the Coronavirus have been lifted, permitting individuals to forgo wearing masks both indoors and outdoors. During the annual ISUS field trip, participants were able to explore Namsan without the need for masks. We embarked on a sunny-day hike down Namsan and shared a dinner gathering with all the ISUS students. It served as a platform for communication, allowing us, as alumni from various countries, to come together under a common identity. Following the hike, we made our way to the hotel where we took the opportunity to introduce ourselves to one another, sharing insights about our respective countries and backgrounds. This interaction further enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the diverse community within ISUS. The 2022 field trip was a memorable experience that not only allowed us to break free from the limitations imposed by the pandemic but also facilitated the building of friendships and cultural exchange. It served as a reminder of the importance of communal activities and the value of coming together as a community after a prolonged period of separation. 2022 The 2022 field trip marked a significant milestone for ISUS as it was the first one in a long time due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. With the gradual lifting of regulations on group activities, ISUS was finally able to host a group field trip after a span of 22 years. On the afternoon of Friday, September 23rd, we gathered in front of the Mirae Hall in UOS and embarked on a bus journey to Jangchung Park. Upon arrival, we commenced the field trip with a brief warm-up session and a group photo, setting the tone for the exciting day ahead. Our main activity involved walking around the perimeter of Namsan Mountain, offering us a chance to immerse ourselves in nature and bond with fellow students. The event unfolded smoothly, providing a wonderful opportunity to not only explore the mountain but also to foster deeper connections among the participants. 2020 On October 17th, 2020, we embarked on a field trip to Namsan. We gathered at Jangchungdan Park, where we began with a warm-up exercise and an overview of the event. Our journey started by walking along Hanyang-do Castle Road, and then we proceeded towards the northern axis, eventually reaching our final destination, a shelter. During our time at Namsan, we also had the opportunity to enjoy the cable car ride to Namsan Tower, taking in the breathtaking views. Afterwards, we visited Seodaemun City Hall, where we received an introduction to the organization. Our educational tour continued as we made our way to Seodaemun Prison, where we learned about the painful history of Korea's Japanese occupation. This visit allowed us to gain a deeper understanding of the historical significance and the struggles endured during that period. It was a memorable and enriching experience, providing us with valuable insights into both the natural beauty of Namsan and the historical context of Korea's past. 2019 On March 22nd and 23rd, 2019, the students embarked on a two-day, one-night trip to Ilsan and Paju.
