[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangju University announced on the 9th that it will conduct a ‘Community-Linked Self-Directed Student Activity’ program based on communication and cooperation.

This program is targeted at the basic liberal arts course ‘Self-Development and Career Exploration’ offered by 29 departments including the Department of Social Welfare, focusing on supporting creative student activities linked to the local community and diversifying character education methods.

In particular, through ‘Self-Directed Community Student Activities,’ it is expected to help improve core competencies such as creative convergence, self-direction, communication and cooperation, and problem-solving.

Along with this, Gwangju University’s Liberal Arts Education Center is recruiting and supporting a ‘Cultural Arts Community’ aimed at enjoying and creating cultural arts.

The Cultural Arts Community is a program that supports activity expenses for student teams of five or more to autonomously carry out activities, aiming to lead everyday cultural arts enjoyment and creative activities and enhance creative and convergence competencies through specialized liberal arts courses.

Additionally, it was decided to seek support measures for sustainable cultural arts creative activities of enrolled students by holding performance workshops every semester.

Kim Jeong-ah, director of Gwangju University’s Liberal Arts Education Center, said, “We are striving to enhance students’ creative expression and creative convergence competencies through the establishment of cultural arts creation practice rooms and support for activity expenses,” adding, “We will actively support voluntary community activities through communication and cooperation.”
