Opportunity Information: Apply for PD SEOUL FY22 02 ROK NOFO ADH
This grant opportunity, titled American Facilitators for "Let's Talk Diplomacy" (English Discussion Program) at American Diplomacy House (ADH) Network locations (Funding Opportunity Number PD-SEOUL-FY22-02-ROK-NOFO-ADH; Assistance Listing 19.441), is an open competition run by the U.S. Embassy Seoul under the U.S. Department of State (Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs). It seeks individual applicants to serve as discussion facilitators who will plan and deliver a yearlong series of English-language public diplomacy discussion sessions for Korean youth through the American Diplomacy House Network. The application deadline listed in the notice is August 5, 2022 (GMT+9).
The program is designed around the American Diplomacy House Network, which functions as the Embassy's main platform for public diplomacy programming in South Korea. ADH centers provide specialized programming for Korean students, particularly those interested in international affairs and leadership. While the broader network includes multiple centers (including Seoul and Daegu), this competition specifically prioritizes five locations: ADH Busan, ADH Gwangju, ADH Pyeongtaek, ADH Gangneung, and ADH Jeju. Applicants are expected to clearly indicate which region they are applying for, following the instructions in the full notice, including labeling the application title with the appropriate regional code.
At the core of the opportunity is a discussion series called "Let's Talk Diplomacy," which is meant to create consistent, meaningful engagement between the Embassy and participants through structured, facilitator-led conversations conducted in English. The sessions focus on current global events and Korean issues in international affairs, with an emphasis on helping participants recognize shared interests and responsibilities as members of a global community. A major theme is the value and impact of diplomacy, highlighting both U.S. and Republic of Korea diplomatic efforts and how those efforts can advocate for, shape, or influence important global issues. Another central focus is the U.S.-ROK Alliance: how it has evolved over time and how both countries can continue to strengthen and optimize the partnership moving forward.
The expected deliverables are clearly defined. Five grantees total are anticipated (one facilitator per priority ADH location), and each facilitator is expected to run 27 sessions over a one-year period, roughly twice per month, with anticipated program dates running from January 2023 through December 2023. In addition to leading their own sessions at their assigned ADH center, facilitators may also be asked to support or facilitate Embassy-led programs when needed. Facilitators are responsible for preparing thematic teaching and discussion materials, guiding interactive conversations in English, and encouraging participants to exchange views and develop informed perspectives on international issues, U.S. policy and society, South Korea's role as a global leader, and the broader context of U.S.-ROK relations.
The notice also lays out intended learning outcomes for participants. By the end of each session, participants should be able to demonstrate stronger diplomacy-related vocabulary, a better understanding of the respective roles of the U.S. and ROK governments in global affairs, and a greater interest in how international issues connect to their own lives or to their country's priorities. The session topics are not entirely open-ended; they are expected to align with Public Diplomacy Section priorities identified through internal strategic planning and coordinated with ADH Seoul, which helps keep the series consistent with Embassy public diplomacy goals.
In terms of goals, the program emphasizes three main outcomes: improving participants' understanding of American diplomacy and its role in supporting the bilateral U.S.-ROK relationship; helping participants clarify and articulate their own view of what conscientious global citizenship means, both individually and at the national level; and strengthening participants' English speaking and communication skills through live discussion and engagement. The program format is intended to be flexible and can be delivered in-person, virtually, or in a hybrid model depending on public health conditions and COVID-19 related constraints in South Korea at the time of implementation.
Funding for the opportunity totals $42,000 across all awards, with an expected five awards. The grant funds are intended to cover costs associated with running the discussion series, including facilitator honoraria, program materials, and local travel expenses, among other implementation needs described in the full NOFO. Eligible applicants are individuals (not institutions), and the funding instrument is listed as a grant or other form of assistance under a discretionary opportunity category.
The primary audience is South Korean youth ages 18 to 25, including high school and university students, particularly those interested in international relations and future leadership pathways. Participant recruitment and selection are handled by each ADH center in coordination with the Embassy and the selected facilitators, meaning facilitators should be prepared to work closely with the local ADH staff and Embassy counterparts to build cohorts, schedule sessions, and ensure the program stays aligned with public diplomacy objectives. For application instructions, required proposal elements, and the official template, the notice directs applicants to the full posting hosted by the U.S. Embassy in Korea.Apply for PD SEOUL FY22 02 ROK NOFO ADH
