Sungshin Women's University was selected for the '2023 Traditional Lifestyle Culture Education Operation Project' and decided to carry out this program. The 2023 Traditional Lifestyle Culture Education is a project organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Craft & Design Foundation, aimed at highlighting the educational value within traditional culture for future generations. Sungshin Women's University plans to operate traditional lifestyle culture education programs for more than 1,000 students across 50 classes in educational institutions located in Gangbuk-gu, Seongbuk-gu, and Eunpyeong-gu.

Sungshin Women's University will run three programs targeting preschoolers, lower-grade elementary students, and upper-grade elementary students: ▲ Five Friends Obangsaek Jogakbo (patchwork cloth) ▲ Hanji (traditional Korean paper) with the charm of recycling ▲ Sotdae (wooden totem poles) used as local landmarks. All programs were developed by the expert faculty of the Korean Cultural Contents Department at the Graduate School of Cultural Industry and Arts at Sungshin Women's University, who designed customized experiential activities tailored to each age group.

Professor Choi Baeyoung of the Korean Cultural Contents Department at the Graduate School of Cultural Industry and Arts at Sungshin Women's University said, "Being selected for this project is meaningful as our university can organically communicate with local district offices and education support offices to provide traditional lifestyle culture programs." He added, "We will continue to expand opportunities for future generations to directly experience the value of Korean traditional culture."
