[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will operate the 'Joseon Tongsinsa Sea Route Experience' program twice on the 7th and 18th at Haesung Art Center in Yongho-dong and aboard the Diamond Bay ship, targeting 80 teachers from the Busan area.

The 'Joseon Tongsinsa,' a UNESCO World Documentary Heritage, was a delegation that crossed over to Japan 12 times over 200 years after the Imjin War, representing a history of peaceful diplomacy and cultural exchange with Japan.

The 'Joseon Tongsinsa Sea Route Experience' was prepared to help participants understand the historical significance of the Joseon Tongsinsa and find ways to apply it in their lessons. Participants were selected on a first-come, first-served basis through the Busan School Support Service on September 5.

The program consists of a special lecture titled 'Listening to the Story of Joseon Tongsinsa' by Professor Han Tae-moon of the Department of Korean Language and Literature at Pusan National University, and an onboard experience themed 'Meeting Our Sounds Along the Joseon Tongsinsa Sea Route.'

Participants will experience the journey of the Joseon Tongsinsa and the traces of cultural arts embedded within it through the program.

Park Ji-hoon, Director of Educational Innovation at the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, "This program will be a great opportunity for participants to realize the historical significance of peace and coexistence pursued by the Joseon Tongsinsa."
