Gwangju Bank announced on January 19 that it operated the "Dada Camp (Colorful and Diverse Cultural Experience Camp)" for 80 teenagers from multicultural families in the Honam region over three nights and four days, from the 13th to the 16th, at the Jeongeup JB Aureum Campus.

This camp was designed to help teenagers from different cultural backgrounds discover their potential and explore their dreams and career paths for the future through a variety of experiential activities.

During the camp, participating teenagers engaged in a wide range of activities, including financial education and a Financial Golden Bell quiz led by Gwangju Bank employees, an AI experience program, an E-sports industry insight program, a domino teamwork experience, a special lecture titled "When a Hobby Becomes a Career," and talent donation programs in archery and badminton. These activities provided participants with broad opportunities for career exploration.

Gwangju Bank employees helped foster sound financial values through financial education tailored to the teenagers' level, and received positive feedback from participants by separately running an AI experience program to enhance their understanding of the rapidly changing digital environment.

Additionally, through the E-sports industry insight program featuring SKT T1, participants learned about E-sports as an industry that has grown beyond gaming. The domino teamwork activity enabled them to naturally experience the importance of cooperation and communication.

Furthermore, a special lecture by the national paper airplane champion shared real-life experiences of turning a hobby into a career, delivering a message of hope about dreams and challenges. Athletes from Gwangju Bank's "TenTen Archery Team" and "Vitro Badminton Team" participated as talent donors, teaching basic postures and fundamental skills. These opportunities allowed teenagers to experience career fields that are not easily accessible in everyday life, providing practical support for their career exploration.

Lee Sangchae, Head of Management Support at Gwangju Bank, said, "I hope this camp will serve as an opportunity for multicultural teenagers to discover their potential, understand one another, and take a step forward in their growth. Gwangju Bank will continue to carry out various experiential, community-focused activities so that local youth can nurture their dreams."
