[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Ulsan Gangbuk Office of Education Support conducted an online 'Understanding Metaverse Parent Education' for parents of kindergarten, elementary, and middle school students.

Metaverse is a combination of 'meta,' meaning transcending or beyond, and 'universe,' meaning world, signifying a 'world where reality and virtuality coexist.'

The parent education was designed to understand what the metaverse is, why it is a craze, through representative platforms and operational cases, and to experience it firsthand through practical exercises.

The education began with the first theoretical lecture on the metaverse by instructor So Byung-gu, director of the Metaverse Education Research Institute.

In the second session, participants practiced by creating a meeting space in a virtual environment using a smartphone application, taking group photos, and solving OX quizzes.

A parent who participated in the education said, "It was a very beneficial time to learn the meaning and prospects of the metaverse and to practice it," and added, "I hope there will be more opportunities to experience other metaverse platforms as well."
