[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-kyung] Naju Public Library announced on the 27th that it will operate a 'Multicultural Awareness Improvement Program' in collaboration with Gongsan Regional Children's Center and Happy Regional Children's Center.

This program is a project supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, targeting students from multicultural families, and will run from May 24 to July 29.

Naju Public Library was selected through a public contest for the '2021 Library Multicultural Service Project,' which aims to broaden mutual cultural respect through food-related programs linked to reading.

Based on the content of books, the program will introduce the origins of foods from Korea and various countries around the world, and provide students from multicultural families with opportunities to experience food culture, guiding them to understand and respect the cultures of those countries.

Director Jeon Man-seok stated, "Through foods from Korea and various countries around the world, we expect to stimulate the five senses such as taste, smell, and touch, and naturally broaden the scope of mutual cultural respect with the concept of play rather than education."
