Korean Mental Culture Foundation to Open 'Humanities Value Forum' in Andong on the 30th... Online and Offline Hybrid Format

The Era of Cultural Diversity and Social Values ... "Operation of the Highest Level Quarantine System"

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Since its establishment by Andong City ordinance in 2014, the Korea Foundation for Mental Culture has held the '21st Century Humanities Value Forum' annually. This year, the forum will be conducted simultaneously through two channels, online and offline, starting with the opening ceremony on the 30th.

Due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), participants in this year's forum will each be assigned a unique barcode. The event organizers plan to operate the highest level of quarantine system by installing disinfection tunnels at various locations.

As on-site attendance by the forum's participants, which used to exceed 5,000 annually, is restricted due to COVID-19, the Korea Foundation for Mental Culture has introduced online live streaming for the first time in the forum's history.

The main programs of the forum will be broadcast live through the forum's official website and the forum's official YouTube channel. In particular, the foundation explained that the forum website has built a platform that allows visitors to select the programs they wish to watch themselves, making it easy to share the core values the forum aims to convey.

The opening ceremony of the 7th '21st Century Humanities Value Forum,' themed 'Social Values in the Era of Cultural Diversity,' will be held on the 30th at 1:30 PM at 'Gureume,' a traditional resort in Andong City.
