Plans for Baduk in France with FFG
2014-10-30
France where I live is the country where the federation(FFG) sets plans and organizes it for the better Baduk in France.
First of all, it has its own national teacher, Fan Hui 2P who came to Europe from China 15 years ago for a trip and couldn't leave France by the recommendation of the president of FFG. FFG convinced him to be hired and work for French Baduk, and he did finally became French 2012 after becoming the French national teacher for more than 10 years. Now they hired the second teacher who is In-seong Hwang from Korea; he is living in Grenoble spreading Baduk to the children in school.
Here are the things done in France.
They have a project of training 60 Baduk teachers and raising 3,000 children by teaching the basic technique which is dansoo(also called Atari Go).
The teachers' training program is the French national teacher, Fan Hui has made and performed for years. It runs for 2~3 days at once time for 10~15 teachers teaching the teachers about how to teach Baduk and how to introduce to a school or city hall.
This is the step 1 for spreading Baduk in France. Now they plan for the step 2 which is to teach the inter-mediates(20K~15K) better. The two french national teachers, Fan Hui and In-seong Hwang are making the program, training teachers for inter-mediates, and it will be done and performed next year hopfully in spring.
It is not a big change at first, but years and years after, I am sure that I will be able to see more people enjoy Baduk in France with a better way that FFG supports.
