[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Pulmuone’s ‘Museum Kimchigan’ announced on the 31st that starting from the 1st of next month, it will expand and offer free non-face-to-face kimchi experience programs called 'Online Children’s Kimchi School' for groups of 20 or more students in grades 4 to 6 of elementary school.

'Online Children’s Kimchi School' is a newly organized program that converts Museum Kimchigan’s representative participatory education program ‘Children’s Kimchi School’ into a non-face-to-face format, allowing participants to experience making kimchi using a Kimchi KIT (1kg salted napa cabbage + 500g kimchi seasoning) without visiting the museum.

Due to the explosive popularity of the existing ‘Online Children’s Kimchi School’ program, which is conducted for children aged 6 to 10, Museum Kimchigan has decided to expand the recruitment target to include group classes of upper elementary students in grades 4 to 6 starting next month.

The ‘Online Children’s Kimchi School’ classes, which are now expanded to upper elementary students, will be operated with more advanced content compared to the classes for children aged 6 to 10.

The classes consist of a ‘Kimchi Theory’ session where students learn about various aspects of kimchi such as the osmosis phenomenon occurring during the salting of cabbage and the lactic acid bacteria generated during the fermentation process, and a ‘Kimchi Making Experience’ session that uses the five senses by touching, tasting, and smelling the kimchi ingredients.

The group classes of ‘Online Children’s Kimchi School’ are held every Friday from 11 a.m. for 40 minutes, and any teacher who wishes to participate with a group of 20 or more students in grades 4 to 6 of elementary school can apply. Once the application is completed, the kimchi ingredients and activity KIT produced by the museum will be delivered to the school by the day before the class, and the class will be conducted in real-time via video call with a kimchi instructor.

However, since the salted cabbage and seasoning must be refrigerated, applications are only accepted from schools that have refrigeration facilities.
