CJ Nanum Foundation Donors Camp 'Ontact Culture School' in the Spotlight

Popularity Due to Rarity and Learning Fun of Ontact Cultural Education

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] CJ Nanum Foundation's non-face-to-face cultural creative education support project, CJ Donors Camp 'Ontact Culture School,' is gaining attention.

CJ Donors Camp focuses on the poor cultural education sector and provides the 'Ontact Culture School' program to local children's centers (study rooms) to help facilitate cultural play optimized for social distancing environments in care settings.

'Ontact Culture School' is an integrated cultural creative activity based on watching movies and listening to music, utilizing an online platform to watch classic films, documentaries, music, etc., and conducting discussions and creative activities about the works viewed, aiming to enhance children's creativity, thinking skills, communication, and cooperation.

The curriculum consists of mandatory activities such as watching films and music works followed by discussion, analysis, critique, and quiz activities, and optional activities including basic creative courses in film, music, and design.

From November last year to February this year, about 1,500 students from 150 study rooms nationwide participated in 'Ontact Culture School' over approximately three months. Classes were organized with an appropriate number of about 10 students per classroom, allowing for in-depth interaction and guidance for each student despite the non-face-to-face education format.

Teachers' evaluations are also positive. In a survey conducted by CJ Donors Camp in October last year targeting about 300 study room teachers on COVID-19 living conditions and perceptions of non-face-to-face services, 60% of teachers responded that "Ontact classes, which have no restrictions on time and space and offer cost-effective educational effects, should continue to expand even after COVID-19."

Reflecting the positive field response to 'Ontact Culture School' and the increasing social demand for non-face-to-face cultural education services, CJ Donors Camp plans to expand educational opportunities this year with an improved program.
