[Asia Economy Yeongnam News Bureau, Hwang Choi Hyunju] Inje University in South Gyeongsang Province announced on September 15 that its campus museum has achieved the distinction of being selected for the "Vivid Cultural Heritage Project," organized by the Cultural Heritage Administration and co-hosted with Gimhae City, for the fifth consecutive year.

According to Inje University, the museum began participating in the Vivid Cultural Heritage Project in 2017 under the theme "Vivid Gaya Outing: Communication Through TALK." This project offers programs that allow participants to explore major Gaya cultural heritage sites in the Gimhae area and discover their value and significance.

Since last year, the program "Talk Talk: Listening with Ears, Seeing with the Heart-Stories of Gaya" has received high praise from both participants and the local community. The program includes guided tours using Braille guidebooks for people with disabilities and hands-on experiences with tactile replicas of Gaya artifacts.

Next year's program will feature "Talk Talk: Listening with Ears, Seeing with the Heart-Stories of Gaya" as a main program, developed in collaboration with Bichuda, a Gimhae-based organization specializing in history and cultural planning for the visually impaired. This initiative aims to bring together people with disabilities and the general public. In addition, a joint project with the Gimhae Folk Museum titled "Talk Talk: Connecting the Dispersal of Gaya Landmarks" will also be held.

Meanwhile, next year's "Vivid Gaya Outing: Communication Through TALK" will consist of four programs in total.

The programs include: "Talk Talk: Listening with Ears, Seeing with the Heart-Stories of Gaya" for people with disabilities and the general public; "Talk Talk: Creating the Gaya Era in 3D" for children and teenagers; "Talk Talk: Connecting the Dispersal of Gaya Landmarks" for families and multicultural participants; and "Talk Talk: The Story of the Rock That Opened the Sky-King Suro and Talhae" for preschoolers.
