[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] A student-tailored psychological counseling program operated by a university is attracting attention.

The Student Counseling Center at Silla University (President Kim Chung-seok) launched the "The World We Create" program starting from the second semester of this year as part of the University Innovation Support Project.

This program is designed with content that helps students living in the COVID-19 era stabilize their emotions and improve self-esteem.

The Silla University Student Counseling Center provided students with the opportunity to discover, plan, and operate programs they personally needed. Professional counselors affiliated with the center enhanced the program's effectiveness by providing advice and tailored counseling.

Currently, 28 students in 7 teams are participating in the program. Through the non-face-to-face programs they created themselves, students engaged in various activities.

These include peer counseling and book discussions using real-time video conferencing programs, and hiking vlogs, all of which strengthen communication among students in an untact (contactless) manner.

The "Cheongbaji (Youth is Right Now)" team attracted attention by producing a video on ways to overcome COVID-19 blues and sharing it with other students. A member of the Cheongbaji team said, "We created the COVID-19 blues overcoming video after identifying what students, who have become more worried due to COVID-19, need most."

"I am glad that the video we made through the program received a good response, and I hope it helps students alleviate their worries and anxieties."

A representative from the Student Counseling Center said, "This program seems to have contributed to realizing demand-centered education and opening a space for exchange and communication necessary in the COVID-19 era."
