Internationalization Of The Curriculum: Understanding Korean Culture In The Other Peninsula Through A Journey Down To Memory Road.

Abstract

The objective of this case study is to characterize how younger people and future generations can understand Korean Culture from historic information, vestiges, buildings and icons present in the city of Mérida in Yucatán, México to maintain diplomatic relations over time. Internationalization is a process of integrating an international dimension to enhance the quality of education. This educational process requires that certain initiatives are implemented to secure inclusive and equitable quality education but also the development of Cultural Diplomacy. A concept that has allowed the inclusion of Korean immigrants’ descendants, and the inhabitants of Mérida to thrive together after the signing of an agreement as international partners at official levels. This case study was carried out using the documentary review, literature review, and participant observation techniques. The findings show that several activities and initiatives are carried out to foster Cultural Diplomacy which in turn has helped maintain diplomatic tides, between the two countries over the time.
