[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The '2022 Dream Program,' hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Gangwon Province and organized by the 2018 Pyeongchang Foundation, will be held from the 14th to the 27th.

According to the province, the '2022 Dream Program' will be held in two sessions for participants from 39 countries. The first session will take place from February 14 to 20, and the second session from the 21st to the 27th, with 70 participants each, held in Pyeongchang and Gangneung, the Olympic host cities.

The event consists of winter sports experiences such as alpine skiing, ski jumping, bobsleigh, luge, biathlon, skating, and para ice hockey, which are generally difficult for the public to access, as well as Hallyu culture lessons including Taekwondo and K-POP, and tours of major cultural and tourist sites in Pyeongchang and Gangneung.

The 'Dream Program' has been inviting young people worldwide who have limited access to winter sports every year since 2004, providing them with experiences in winter sports and Korean culture. So far, over 2,200 participants from 84 countries have taken part.

Kim Jong-wook, Director of the Culture, Tourism and Sports Bureau, said, "Through the Dream Program, we will share the legacy and values left by the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and ensure the event proceeds safely."
