SUMMARY:2026 Contextual Learning Group to South Korea

The group aims to strengthen historical and missional ties with Korean partner churches and mission organisations. \nThe group will learn and appreciate the UCA’s rich history\, leadership and involvement in ministry and mission works in overseas. The group will receive valuable insights\, particularly highlighting the significant contributions of Victorian missionaries during the early stages of Australian mission works in Korea. There will be a series of group and individual activities with local hosting churches and organisations\, debriefing and sharing sessions among participants and several group tours learning more about local culture and food. \nPlease submit your expression of interest by the end of 9 March 2026 \n  \n\nTitle: 2026 Contextual Learning Group to South Korea\nDuration: 13 April\, Monday evening ~ 20 April\, Monday afternoon\nVenue: various mission sites in Seoul\, Busan\, Masan and Chang Won in South Korea\nRequirements: Participants must have a valid passport\, be aware of their own medical and dietary needs and be able to walk approximately 6–8 km including subway staircases each day.\nWho can join: friends and colleagues in the VICTAS Synod\nWhat’s next: Once accepted\, you need to arrange your own round-trip ticket between Melbourne and Seoul\, South Korea.
