On a crisp spring day in 2011, Jangseung Middle School embarked on a unique field trip. Their destination? The Boramae Safety Experience Center in Seoul. Jangseung Middle School students were about to get a lesson unlike any they’d had before. This wasn’t about history books or algebra. This was about surviving earthquakes and fires. Korea, while not often thought of as earthquake-prone, does experience tremors. The students at Jangseung Middle School got to feel what it was like, appliances rattling and the ground shaking beneath their feet. The experience was designed to be immersive, to teach them how to react in a real emergency. The field trip to Boramae Safety Experience Center wasn’t just about earthquakes. Fire safety was also a key component. The students learned how to use fire extinguishers, a skill that could one day save their lives or the lives of others. Jangseung Middle School recognized the importance of practical skills alongside traditional academics. This field trip was a testament to that commitment. It provided a valuable, hands-on learning experience. The students left with a better understanding of how to stay safe in emergencies. They returned to Jangseung Middle School, not just with stories to tell, but with essential skills for life.
