On the afternoon of the same day, the two institutions entered into the agreement at the Gyeongnam Audience Media Center of the Korea Audience Media Foundation. They agreed to cooperate on projects that promote education donation by utilizing each institution's educational infrastructure, and to jointly develop and operate media education and other educational programs for students in the Gyeongsang region.
In particular, in July, they plan to jointly design and run a special summer vacation program titled "Geumbancho Ethilogue: Exploring Ethiopia with Media" for students at Geumban Elementary School in Hamyang, a remote rural school. This program is a hands-on education donation activity that combines media content production with global career exploration, and is expected to provide local students with creative experiences.
Going forward, the two institutions plan to pursue initiatives such as promoting education donation using each institution's educational infrastructure, and operating joint programs to foster creative and integrative character education for students in the Gyeongsang region.
The Gyeongnam Audience Media Center of the Korea Audience Media Foundation, which opened in December 2023, is a public media education and experience institution. It operates a variety of educational programs aimed at strengthening the media capabilities of citizens in the Gyeongnam region. Professional instructors provide on-site education by visiting schools directly, and the center offers open media spaces where educational facilities and media equipment are available for free use and rental by anyone.
The Gyeongsang Region Education Donation Hub Support Center was designated in 2023 by the Ministry of Education and the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity, and was established within National Pukyong University. It operates a wide range of high-quality education donation programs for kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school students in the region.
Through collaboration with organizations, companies, and individual donors, the center is at the forefront of spreading a culture of donation across society, and fulfills its role as a specialized support institution for education donation.
