[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 28th, the Gyeongnam Miryang City Healthy Family Multicultural Family Support Center held a closing ceremony for the online program "Global Toktok School," where about 40 school-age children from multicultural families participated to learn their mother tongue.

"Global Toktok School" was conducted in three languages?Vietnamese, Japanese, and Chinese?with 20 sessions each, held every weekend through a combination of in-person classes at the center and online lessons.

Alongside this, parent classes and cultural experience classes were also conducted, providing an opportunity to enhance the pride of multicultural family children and their understanding of their mother countries.

At the closing ceremony, each class performed their mother country's songs through a non-face-to-face online choir, showcasing the skills they had honed over time.

Participant student A said, "I really enjoyed spending time communicating with my mother in Vietnamese. I felt my Vietnamese skills improving day by day, which gave me confidence."

The center plans to continue operating "Global Toktok School" next year to nurture global talents among multicultural family children and to boost their self-esteem.
