[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Hannam University announced on the 23rd that it has been selected for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service's '2022 Theme-Centered School Arts Education Support Project,' and will take charge of project operations in the Chungcheong region, including Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, and Chungbuk.

The support project assists the entire process of joint project development and operation between schools (teachers) and artists. Moving away from knowledge-providing educational methods within the curriculum, the core of the project is a process of questioning various life themes such as the environment surrounding students, climate, data, objects, technological ecology, and community values from an artistic perspective and seeking answers to those questions.

At this time, the operating institution acts as a bridge to enhance the diversity of school arts education and to establish a sustainable cooperative system between local artists and schools.

Hannam University has been selected as an operating institution for this project for two consecutive years and will receive 400 million KRW in national funding based on this selection. While carrying out the project, the university plans to provide educational services such as cultural arts education workshops and consulting to participating teachers and artists by establishing a professional mentoring system.

Byun Sang-hyung, Director of the Arts and Culture Education Project Group at Hannam University, said, “We will strive to fulfill our role as a cultural arts education hub institution in the Chungcheong region.”
