Government Supports Development and Utilization of Non-Face-to-Face Humanities Education Content

Promoted as part of the 'Library Road Humanities Special Program'

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Publication Culture Industry Promotion Agency announced on the 31st that they will support the development and utilization of humanities education content that communicates with the public. This initiative is being promoted as part of the "Special Program for Humanities on the Road in Libraries" in response to the increasing demand for non-face-to-face educational content.

The project will be carried out in two phases. In the first phase, support will be provided for the publication of small booklets (around 100 pages) on humanities topics. To receive support, researchers and publishers must first connect and submit a project plan. An official stated, "Topics such as 'social changes brought by COVID-19,' 'community recovery,' 'carbon neutrality,' and the 'Fourth Industrial Revolution,' which are the key focus areas of this year's humanities projects, will receive additional points."

In the second phase, support will be provided for the publication of monographs (over 200 pages) for research that has completed the first phase and passed the review. The official added, "We plan to select and support around twenty projects." Among the monographs, outstanding content will be operated as humanities programs for residents at libraries or community cultural facilities through the "Humanities on the Road" project. For detailed application methods, schedules, and information, please refer to the websites of the Publication Promotion Agency and Humanities360.
