[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Smart Community Project Group of Gyeongsang National University, the lead university for the Ulsan-Gyeongnam Regional Innovation Platform Project, conducted the ‘Green New Deal Innovator Education’ over two days from the 1st to the 2nd to train creative problem-solving education leaders.

This education, co-hosted and organized by the Smart Community Project Group, the Gyeongnam Sustainable Development Council, and the Ulsan Sustainable Development Council, is a training program aimed at nurturing field activists who support Green New Deal activities in the Ulsan-Gyeongnam civil society in response to the severity of the climate crisis.

The curriculum covered topics such as analysis of Green New Deal idea tone cases, the concept and necessary competencies of innovators, user demand & problem definition, policy proposals, and feedback.

More than 40 participants, including USG Shared University students, university students from Ulsan and Gyeongnam, and the general public, took part in this education.

Professor Park Sang-hyuk of the Department of Entrepreneurship at the Graduate School of Entrepreneurship, Gyeongsang National University, said, “Participants who complete the education will receive follow-up support to enable them to act as innovators in the upcoming ‘Green New Deal Challenger Education I, II’ and the ‘Bu-Ul-Gyeong Together Green New Deal Idea Tone.’”

The ‘Bu-Ul-Gyeong Together Green New Deal Idea Tone’ is a competition scheduled to be held in February 2022, where citizens of Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam actively participate from discovering regional problems to solving them through the Green New Deal project, generating innovative ideas with experts, and selecting outstanding ideas through public evaluation.

The Smart Community Project Group operates various startup support programs for university (graduate) students in the Ulsan-Gyeongnam region, while fostering excellent startup teams and discovering prospective entrepreneurs, promoting youth entrepreneurship workforce development and social startup company cultivation.
