[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Social Customized Industry-Academic Cooperation Leading University Development Project Group (hereinafter LINC＋ Project Group Director Lee Sang-chan) of Mokpo National University (President Park Min-seo) visited ‘Gongsaengwon’ located in Mokpo on the 14th and held an event to share early childhood educational toys made in the Capstone Design class of the Department of Child Studies.

According to Mokpo National University on the 15th, on that day, Professor Ahn Ji-hye of the Department of Child Studies and seven students from the department visited Gongsaengwon, listened to the history of its establishment, and delivered about 30 early childhood educational toys produced as assignments for the Capstone Design course.

Capstone Design is a practical course for undergraduate students in their third year or above, where they utilize their major knowledge to propose ideas needed in the field, design them, and create prototypes.

Gongsaengwon was established in 1928 by Korean missionary Yoon Chi-ho and his Japanese wife Yoon Hak-ja, and it is a child care facility that has become the root of Korean social welfare projects by protecting, nurturing, and practicing love for more than 4,000 children who need the care of guardians to this day.

LINC＋ Director Lee Sang-chan said, “I hope this sharing event will be an opportunity for our students to think about contributing to the local community, and that they will grow into true talents who care for their neighbors even after graduation.”

Meanwhile, the Mokpo National University LINC＋ Project Group received the Community Contribution Award at the 8th Community Contribution Capstone Design FAIR held at Dongseo University on October 29, where students from the Department of Landscape Architecture at Mokpo National University proposed a redevelopment plan for a senior nursing home in Sinan-gun.
