The Global Cultural Experience program has been promoted since 2016 to instill pride in being born and attending school in Yeonggwang, while broadening students' perspectives through overseas experiences and helping them envision their dreams and visions.

The county has made thorough preparations, including pre-meetings and advance inspections, to ensure the smooth implementation of the global cultural experience, which is being held for the first time in three years, and above all, to guarantee the safety of the students.

Governor Kang Jong-man said, "I hope the global cultural experience will be a valuable opportunity to understand the history and culture of other countries and broaden students' horizons," adding, "I hope it will invigorate their learning."

The global cultural experience, held for the first time in three years since COVID-19, is expected to help students cultivate attitudes of understanding and respect for diverse cultures around the world and strengthen their global competencies.
