Participating students will have self-directed career design time, including finding role models who have successfully worked in various fields among those who migrated to Korea.

They will envision jobs in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution at the ‘Palm Film Festival’ and create and present videos showing specific efforts to realize these jobs. Then, using AR, VR, and other technologies, they will experience various occupations in virtual spaces and engage in activities where teams directly implement ideas in a virtual 3D space.

Park Ji-hoon, Director of Educational Policy at the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education, said, “This camp will be very helpful for multicultural and North Korean defector students to understand and develop themselves,” adding, “We will continue to support students so they can develop their potential and strengths.”
