##   Education Influencers Exchange Program

07/20/2022

08/19/2022

Funding Opportunity Title: Education Influencers Exchange Program Funding Opportunity Number: PD-SEOUL-FY22-03 Deadline for Applications: OOB August 19, 2022, GMT+9 Assistance Listing Number: 19.040 Total Amount Available: $100,000 A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Seoul / Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out a program to implement the Education Influencers Exchange Program. Please follow all instructions below. Program Objectives: The United States has historically been the top destination for degree-seeking Korean students studying at colleges and universities overseas. However, we have seen a yearly decline in the number of Korean students studying in the United States with the figures for 2020-2021 (39,491 Korean students) reflecting a 32% decrease compared to five years ago (2016/17 recorded 58,663 Korean students) and 45% decrease compared to ten years ago (2011/12 recorded 72,295 Korean students). According to the National Center on Education and the Economy, up to 80% of Korean high schoolers each year use private tutoring, including college agents or application preparation services. This is illustrative of Korea's infamous "education fever," fueled by the decision-making power Korean parents wield in their kids' educational decisions. Additionally, as a country with nearly 100% of households with internet access, online forums including internet cafes and vlogs have become key sources for information exchange among parents of school age children. This exchange program will focus on working with 5-7 influencers within this arena, whom the U.S. Embassy in Seoul will select as the participants. NOTE: After issuance of the award, depending on availability of FY22 EOY funding, the number of participants may be increased to 10 and the award will be amended accordingly. The exchange program will consist of three parts: 1. Consultation The selected organization will perform group consultations with candidates, either in-person or remotely, to assess the chief interests and concerns of their audiences (students and their parents) as they pertain to U.S. higher education. The findings will be incorporated into the design of a 10-day exchange program to best address their interests and concerns and promote U.S. higher education. 2. 10-day Exchange program in the United States Findings of the consultation will be incorporated into the design of a 10-day exchange program in the United States. The itinerary will be largely driven by the results of the consultation, but we anticipate that visits to U.S. college campuses and meetings with successful Korean alumni of U.S. higher education institutions will be included in the itinerary. The exchange program may also include stays in two different cities to provide participants a wide view of the United States. Ideally one stop would be more urban, and one more suburban/rural. Throughout the exchange, the participants will be given ample opportunities to collect material for their social media channels. Embassy Seoul will also work with our media/communications team to post snapshots from the tour and brief interviews with participants about their experiences. 3. Social Media Posts As part of the program, each participant will be required to publish three blog or vlog features about study in the United States via their social media accounts within 3 months of the conclusion of the program. The proposal should incorporate 1-3 sessions during the trip to workshop ideas with participants to outline and gather content for these posts. Proposals should budget for two Korean-language interpreters to accompany the group during the ten-day program. One Embassy Seoul employee may also accompany the group to engage, liaise, and troubleshoot any challenges. The applicant organization should plan to include the Embassy staffer in making logistical arrangements, including any cultural activities or ground transport. However, funding for the Embassy staffer’s flights and hotels will be borne directly by the Embassy (i.e., not included in the award budget). Participants and Audiences: The participants of this exchange program will be comprised of 5-7 online influencers selected by the U.S. Embassy who are actively engaged in exploring overseas educational opportunities for South Korean undergraduate university students via online forums including YouTube, online internet cafes, and vlogs. B. FEDERAL AWARD INFORMATION Length of performance period: October 2022 to July 2023 Number of awards anticipated: 1 award Award amounts: awards may range from a minimum of $10,000 to a maximum of $100,000 Total available funding: $100,000 (might be increased upon availability of funding) Type of Funding: FY22 Smith Mundt Public Diplomacy Funds Anticipated program start date: October 2022 (actual trip schedule will be in April 2023) This notice is subject to availability of funding. Funding Instrument Type: Cooperative Agreement. Post will select participants of the exchange program and provide feedback on the consultations and proposed itinerary for the U.S. trip. Program Performance Period: Proposed programs should be completed in 12 months or less. C. ELIGILIBITY INFORMATION 1. Eligible Applicants The following organizations are eligible to apply: · Not-for-profit organizations, including think tanks and civil society/non-governmental organizations · Public and private educational institutions Public International Organizations and Governmental institutions NOTE: Preferably US-based NPOs that have a partnership with organizations in ROK, or vice-versa.

PEPFAR announced the DREAMS (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored, and Safe) Partnership on World AIDS Day 2014. In 2015, DREAMS was planned with full grassroots participation. In 2016, DREAMS implementation began in ten countries of Sub-Saharan African countries including Mozambique.DREAMS focuses on HIV prevention interventions for Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) from 10 to 24 year olds. The program provides a comprehensive package of core interventions to address many of the factors that make girls and young women particularly vulnerable to HIV, including gender-based violence, exclusion from economic opportunities, and a lack of access to secondary school and broad components, such as parenting/caregiver programs and the specific evidence-based curricula for HIV and Violence prevention.The goal of DREAMS is to deliver on bold U.S. targets by supporting a multi-sectoral core package of interventions that goes beyond the health sector, addressing the structural drivers that directly and indirectly increase girls’ HIV risk, including poverty, gender inequality, sexual violence, and lack of education. The DREAMS Ambassador program was initiated in 2016 as way to recognize that adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) have limited access to adolescent friendly services that respond to their sexual reproductive health needs. The participation and leadership of AGYW is essential in the decision-making processes implementation of interventions and in the that affect their lives to achieve better health for AGYW.The focus of this program is to select and train AGYW to advocate for the rights of youth, provide leadership for DREAMS interventions, and to link their peers to the services available (in the community, schools, and the health centers), in order to maximize the impact of the DREAMS program.Among of the responsibilities of the DREAMS Ambassadors, their mission is to generate public attention for the DREAMS program and the problems that affect adolescent girls and youth in their communities and being and be the public face in existing structures such as girls’ clubs and safe spaces in the community.Mozambique still has one of the highest numbers of early pregnancy and female school drop-out it also ranks very high in lack of opportunities for young women to actively raise their voices in the society. One of the roots of this problem is related to the absence of female role models at all levels across all levels of the society. This has contributed towards a cycle of poverty perpetuated throughout generations limiting opportunities for girls and women.The applicant should provide a grassroots leadership training with innovative models of education focused on adolescents girls and young women to amplify talent, raise gender equality and promote sustainable transformation by empowering girls and young women to be the next generation’s changemakers through mentorship models.The approach of the leadership training needs to be based on a holistic vision of circular leadership and active citizenship (community, civic and participatory) that recognizes the individuality and complementarity of each being in the circle, with awareness that the girls and women can be the intergenerational reference modelsDuring this training, the group enters a conceptual questioning aimed at deconstructing and re-signifying concepts (leadership, management, power). From there it expands to a vision of leading for the common good and deepens its understanding of reference models practices, intentions, and relationships.Finally, it dives into building its own profile and a collective leadership manifesto. In conclusion, this approach recognizes the dynamic and evolving nature of a leadership profile that is constantly being updated and, as such, will never be completed or crystallized.
