[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) will hold the "4th World Culture Experience - Because It's Different" on the 14th and 21st from 10:00 AM to 3:40 PM on the Siheung Global Talent Academy online platform.

The "World Culture Experience - Because It's Different" has been held annually since 2017 as part of global citizenship education to provide children with opportunities to experience various countries' cultures, thereby enhancing multicultural understanding and fostering dreams toward the world.

This year's 4th event will be conducted as a non-face-to-face experiential education due to the impact of COVID-19. Participants will use experience props distributed in advance via a drive-thru method to participate in real-time video cultural experiences.

The experience halls consist of eight cultural halls: Vietnam Hall, China Hall, Turkey Hall, Italy Hall, France Hall, United Kingdom Hall, United States Hall, and Hawaii Hall.

The operation of the experience halls is managed by eight foreign language specialist village instructors. Participants can select and participate in four halls over two days, twice a day at one-hour intervals, through the online platform.

Activities include making "Zhuon Zhuon (dragonfly) bamboo dragonflies" at the Vietnam Hall, decorating with lei flower necklaces at the Hawaii Hall, and playing the Harry Potter magic game at the United Kingdom Hall, allowing participants to experience cultural differences by country.

This event is free for any elementary school students in grades 1 to 4 residing in the district. Students who wish to participate can apply through the district website's integrated reservation service. Registration is limited to the first 72 applicants.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, stated, "We planned this non-face-to-face event to provide opportunities to enhance children's global citizenship capabilities even in emergencies such as the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic," and added, "We will continue to actively support Geumcheon-gu children to grow as global talents in various ways."
