The agreement mainly includes ▲ cooperation to spread and revitalize cultural arts education policies in the field of traditional arts ▲ joint planning and development of online cultural arts education content for the Neulbom School in the traditional arts field ▲ utilization of cultural arts content and facilities owned by both organizations.

Through this agreement, the National Theater plans to develop educational content in the traditional arts field using its three resident groups (National Changgeuk Company, National Dance Company, National Gugak Orchestra) and distribute it for use in school settings. Neulbom School, operated by the Arts & Culture Education Service, provides customized education and care services for elementary school students before and after regular class hours and is currently being piloted in about 200 elementary schools.

This year, together with the National Changgeuk Company, an educational program for elementary students combining Pansori and theatrical play will be presented in video format. The video and digital guidebook will be released by the end of this year through the websites of the National Theater, the Arts & Culture Education Service, EBS, and the Ministry of Education’s e-Hakseupter platform.

Park In-geon, director of the National Theater, said, "If the two organizations unite their intentions to activate high-quality arts education, it will not only nurture future audiences and artists but also have a positive impact on expanding the base of performing arts."

Park Eun-sil, director of the Arts & Culture Education Service, stated, "We aim to provide customized online cultural arts education content to elementary students nationwide through Neulbom School to address care gaps and offer various opportunities to enjoy cultural arts."
