National Gwangju Science Museum Actively Supports Science Culture Vouchers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The National Gwangju Science Museum is experiencing great popularity with the Science Culture Voucher program conducted in cooperation with the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science and Creativity.

The Science Culture Voucher is a project that issues online points worth 30,000 KRW per person, allowing vulnerable groups such as the underprivileged who have difficulty enjoying science culture due to economic or regional reasons, people with disabilities, and multicultural families to use science culture products and services (science exhibitions and experiences, performances, books, educational kits, etc.).

The National Gwangju Science Museum has been implementing the ‘Science Culture Voucher’ project annually, and this year it consists of four demand-tailored science culture products: two types of science exhibition and experience, one type of science educational kit, and one type of visit souvenir.

The two science exhibition and experience products can be used as a basic admission ticket (permanent exhibition hall, children’s science museum, parking) and a comprehensive admission ticket (permanent exhibition hall, children’s science museum, Space360 3D theater, meals, parking, souvenirs).

The science educational kit products are roller coaster and aero rocket kits, which are non-face-to-face science education programs that allow various experiments and extended activities at home based on the accompanying science principle exploration videos.

The visit souvenirs include National Gwangju Science Museum visit magnets in various colors, the outdoor symbolic sculpture Space Odyssey 3D puzzle, or a collection of science museum postcards.

Deputy Director Jeon Tae-ho said on the 28th, “The National Gwangju Science Museum not only operates the Science Culture Voucher but also holds special invitation events on closed days with the National Gwangju Science Museum Supporters Association, mobile science museums, and science dream tree invitation camps every year,” adding, “Next year, we will strive to spread science culture to vulnerable groups by providing highly satisfactory services through richer and more diverse product compositions.”

Voucher applications and reservations for science culture products can be made by searching for ‘National Gwangju Science Museum’ on the Science Culture Voucher website.

Basic livelihood security recipients, lower-income groups, and students from schools near island and remote areas must apply individually, while people with disabilities, single-parent families, and multicultural families can apply as groups through related welfare facilities.

Detailed information about applications can also be found on the 'Science Culture Voucher website' or the national welfare portal 'Bokjiro'.
