[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education operated the 2022 School Space Innovation Project target schools and the ‘School Space Innovation Learning Festival’ online on the 12th.

The Learning Festival is a unique program of the Ulsan Office of Education’s School Space Innovation Project, serving as a joint kickoff training session for schools participating in the School Space Innovation Project.

The Ulsan School Space Innovation Project is being promoted at a total of five locations?Myeongsan Elementary School, Samil Elementary School, Daesong High School, Eonyang High School, and Ulsan Hyein School?with a budget of 1.8 billion KRW.

The Learning Festival was held simultaneously at five locations. The Education Office’s festival was remotely overseen by the overall planner.

Each school’s festival was conducted by facilitators targeting the school promotion teams, including faculty and staff participating in user-centered design, students, parents, designers, and facility managers.

Each school divided participants into four groups to proceed with the program. In the first stage, participants played the Eongttung board game to imagine the desired appearance of their school and school life. In the second stage, they reflected on the current school environment and student life through an on-campus review.

In the third stage, participants created a learning map to enable desired learning and living activities in the current space, and finally, they presented the results of their activities.

A student who participated in the Learning Festival at Eonyang High School said, “I experienced hope and possibility in being able to change the school space with our own hands, and I gained confidence that I can enjoy the upcoming School Space Innovation Project.”

The Ulsan School Space Innovation General Planning Team stated, “The goal of the Learning Festival is for school members to rediscover their school not just as a place for learning but as a place for future life and learning, and to start the experience of creating the school together through spatial activities.”

The planning team designed the Learning Festival and remotely oversaw it from the Education Office on the day of the event.
