The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education will hold the "Challenge! Golden Bell" event on April 1 at 10 a.m. at the Green Sound Square in Busan City Hall, targeting about 300 middle and high school students to pray for the successful bid of the 2030 World Expo Busan.

The event is a student-centered program designed to increase students' interest in three themes: ▲understanding the World Expo ▲understanding Busan ▲spreading the culture of respecting teachers. It is one of the programs promoted by the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education to support the bid for the 2030 World Expo Busan.

On the day, students will have the opportunity to solve Golden Bell quizzes related to the World Expo, rediscovery of Busan based on textbook content, and the culture of respecting teachers, while receiving cheers from friends and citizens.

The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education expects this event to broaden the understanding of the World Expo among students and citizens and to foster their hopes for Busan’s successful bid.

For elementary school students, schools will independently operate the Challenge! Golden Bell event to pray for the Expo bid, providing an opportunity to enhance their understanding of the Expo and Busan as they grow into the main actors of Busan in 2030.

Ha Yun-su, Superintendent of Education of Busan, said, “Our Office of Education is striving to attract the 2030 World Expo, which will propel Busan to the center of South Korea once again,” and added, “I hope this event will be a good opportunity to raise the hopes for the Expo bid among our students, who will be the main actors of the 2030 Busan World Expo, as well as Busan citizens.”
