SH Corporation Holds 'SH Urban School' Housing Rights Education with UN-Habitat

[Asia Economy Reporter Onyu Lim] Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH Corporation) and UN-Habitat will jointly conduct an educational program to nurture future talents.

SH Corporation announced on the 26th that it will hold the 'SH Urban School' for university students in collaboration with the UN-Habitat Korea Committee. SH Urban School is a housing rights education program designed for future leaders who will create sustainable housing and cities. The two organizations signed a related business agreement on the 13th.

The program is an integrated educational course consisting of 6 theory sessions, 2 domestic field trips, and 3 team projects, conducted over approximately two months. The theory sessions will be led by expert instructors with various approaches to solving housing problems in our society. The domestic field trip, themed 'specialized housing welfare,' plans to explore cases of social housing and youth housing during a 3-night, 4-day trip to Jeju Island. The costs will be supported by the corporation.

SH Urban School plans to operate twice this year. Each session will recruit 30 participants, and any university student residing in Seoul can apply. Detailed information about the recruitment for the first session can be found on the SH Corporation website this afternoon.

To prevent COVID-19 infections, SH Corporation will comply with quarantine guidelines according to social distancing measures during education. A dedicated quarantine staff will be assigned for the regional field trips, and in case of a social distancing level 3 escalation during the event, plans are in place to switch the educational program to an online format.
