[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Dunamu announced on the 4th that it will operate the youth digital finance education program 'Duniverse' starting from the 3rd of this month.

Duniverse will be conducted for a total of 20 schools and about 4,800 students this year, beginning with Naedong Middle School located in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province. Duniverse is a compound word of Dunamu and Universe, and is an educational program jointly developed by Dunamu, ET One, a youth economic education specialist company, and the Children and Future Foundation. As part of Dunamu's ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) youth projects, it was planned to enhance youths' understanding of digital finance and contribute to nurturing promising talents who will lead future industries.

The Duniverse program consists of a total of 8 lectures, including introductions and experiences of 4th industrial revolution technologies such as blockchain, NFT (Non-Fungible Token), and metaverse, as well as basic financial knowledge education. Dunamu plans to train instructors who hold financial instructor certificates issued by the Financial Supervisory Service and have experience in economic education, and dispatch them as Duniverse professional instructors to provide systematic technical education. Through this, Dunamu actively participates in the social reintegration of women with career interruptions and the creation of new jobs.

Last year, Dunamu signed a business agreement with Gyeonggi Province and the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education and operated pilot classes for youth digital finance classrooms three times. Based on a more advanced curriculum, this year the program is expanded to first-year middle school students in educationally vulnerable areas within Gyeonggi Province, and recruitment for 15 schools was completed in the first half of the year.

Lee Seok-woo, CEO of Dunamu, said, "The experiences accumulated during youth can be called a compass of life, playing an important role in future planning and career choices," and added, "I hope Duniverse will raise youths' interest in digital finance and establish itself as a foundation for nurturing next-generation talents."
