[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor You Deok-yeol) Seoul Korean Medicine Promotion Center (Seoul Yakryeongsi Korean Medicine Museum) is operating the ‘2021 School-Linked Education’ program for local children and adolescents.

The ‘2021 School-Linked Education’ program was prepared to provide career experience opportunities related to Korean medicine and to promote the excellence of Korean medicine, and some programs are currently recruiting participants.

‘Bapsim Class,’ a humanities-based food therapy class for elementary school students, and ‘Korean Medicine Beauty Club,’ a career experience program in the Korean medicine beauty industry for middle and high school students, are recruiting participants.

‘Bapsim Class’ and ‘Korean Medicine Beauty Club’ will be operated as non-face-to-face education through YouTube.

In addition, the Seoul Korean Medicine Promotion Center announced that face-to-face programs will be conducted once the COVID-19 situation eases. A children’s five-senses herbal education program ‘My Friend Herb’ for kindergarteners is planned, and a special career experience program for children with disabilities called ‘Herb Mate’ will be newly established, attracting attention.

‘Herb Mate’ is designed to explore careers in the field of Korean medicine and to support the social and emotional growth of children with disabilities.
