FUTURE BRIEFINGS
Ziran Education Foundation is aware of the considerable local interest in the future of the Reading Prison site, as well as its relationship to the Abbey Ruins and wider Abbey Quarter. Therefore, Ziran will hold briefing meetings some time before Christmas, and invite local groups and individuals to attend these meetings, wherein the latest updates on the overall project will be shared.

Serkong School
We are proud to be collaborating with Serkong School, in our first foray into improving education throughout the Himalayas. Serkong is a primary school founded by Tabo Monastery–the millennium-old Buddhist Temple in India. We provide Serkong School with financial assistance so it can recruit new English teachers, and also adopt Emory University’s innovative SEE (Social, Emotional, and Ethical) Learning Program to cultivate capable, self-affirmed students.

MEETING WITH
Mr. PARK SEO-BO
The late Park Seo-Bo, whose abstract paintings were foundational to Korea’s Art Informel Movement, entered into an arrangement with Ziran that will see 100 pieces of his invaluable work displayed in the museum of an experimental K-12 school that Ziran will build. Mr. Park’s eclectic painting style perfectly symbolises the planned school’s ethos of drawing influence from philosophies across hemispheres.
