Jeju Island Volcano Hike and Haenyeo Culture Documentary

Introduction

The eruption of volcanoes and the nurturing of oceans compose the most magnificent movements in Earth’s evolution.

Born of volcanic activity, Jeju Island boasts geological wonders such as Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, Hallasan Mountain, and the Jusangjeolli Cliff. It is honored as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, a Global Geopark, and a Biosphere Reserve. Here, the resilient haenyeo culture thrives—a symbol of women’s strength and ecological wisdom. Volunteers will conduct documentary fieldwork and ecological hikes, immersing themselves in haenyeo communities and pristine natural sites. From the Haenyeo Museum to Hallasan Mountain, from Olle Trail to traditional villages, they will capture the island’s vitality through the lens. Ultimately, teams will co-create a documentary showcasing the symbiotic wisdom between humans and nature, bringing the story of Jeju to the world.

"Volunteering + Research", exclusively designed by ASDAN China, is an academic growth model that combines research-oriented learning and voluntary service. We refer to the authoritative theory of education, admission requirements of universities, 10 years of project experience, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to design our programs. ASDAN "Volunteering + Research" Programs cover four categories: Teach for Rural Areas, Community Support, Wildlife & Environment Conservation, and Cultural Heritage Conservation. Volunteers will experience rich and unique service scenarios and learn from different topics of research workshops concerning real social problems. We aim to guide volunteers to discover problems, propose solutions and report to the public, improve volunteers' research learning ability, meet the requirements of volunteers' personal growth and further education, and enhance their sense of social responsibility.

When it comes to voluntary services, admission officers of universities think highly of sincerely caring about society and comprehensive qualities and skills, such as proposers of innovative solutions, leaders of public welfare projects, and the continuity and depth of voluntary services. 62.1% of colleges would like to see applicants show a record report reflecting the whole process of volunteering. The world's top universities emphasize community commitment with problem-solving ability. Every high school student needs volunteering service experience that combines public welfare emotion and social problem-solving ability.
