[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jeonghwan] The Asia Economy Yeongnam Education Center opened its doors in Ulsan on the 23rd.

The center, located in Seobu-dong, Dong-gu, Ulsan, has chosen ‘literacy’ as its educational keyword. While literacy traditionally means the ability to read and write, its meaning has recently expanded to encompass functions across all aspects of life. In this context, the center has established four educational areas.

First, the traditional literacy education area (Basic Literacy). Centered on reading and writing programs, it offers programs that enhance not only the ability to read and write but also cultural enrichment.

Second, the media literacy education area known as ‘Media Literacy.’ It prepares programs that enable active reading and interpretation of media such as newspapers, TV, and the internet, serving as a stepping stone from media consumers to producers.

Third, the democratic citizenship education area (Social Literacy). Programs are prepared to improve discussion and communication training and critical understanding of major social issues.

Fourth, the financial education area to enhance financial literacy (Financial Literacy). To address the increasingly serious issue of youth debt, programs for education, consulting, and startup support have been prepared.

These educational programs will be conducted online for the time being due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The center has equipped a studio capable of producing and broadcasting online programs for non-face-to-face education.

To add expertise to educational and counseling activities, CEO Lee Giwoon (Labri Counseling Research Institute) was appointed as a psychological expert, CEO Yoo Byeongcheol (Kkumkkuneun Namu) as a youth expert, and Team Leader Kim Minju (Hana Bank) as a financial expert.

Center Director Kim Seongtae said, “The red shape in the Asia Economy logo symbolizes a window to read the economy and the world, and our center will strive to be an educational institution that opens eyes to the world.”

The opening ceremony was held with a minimal number of people in compliance with quarantine rules, considering the COVID-19 situation.
