'Recruiting Global Talent to Promote K-Culture' Marks the First Step in Global Education Project

Ando-geol National Assembly Member Holds Meeting at K-Culture Global Center

Encourages First Arriving Trainees... Shares Vision of 'Global Culture and Tourism Town'

A global talent training program to introduce K-Culture to various countries around the world is set to officially begin in Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.

Ando-geol, a member of the National Assembly (Democratic Party of Korea, Gwangju Dongnam-eul), visited the K-Culture Global Center, a global K-Culture educational institution, held a meeting with the first foreign trainees who arrived, and received explanations about the future operation of the program.

Opened in 2021, the K-Culture Global Center is a complex educational space in the city center that provides educational programs such as K-Beauty and K-Culture for overseas trainees, leading cultural exchange projects that spread the Korean Wave back to their home countries.

Recently, it attracted attention by successfully concluding large-scale contracts to dispatch trainees from various Asian countries such as China and Vietnam to receive education in Korean beauty, image design, and technical training, creating an opportunity for Dong-gu, Gwangju to emerge as a global cultural exchange hub.

Assemblyman Ando-geol met the first foreign trainees who arrived for the K-Beauty training program, listened to explanations about the center’s facilities, operational status, and educational programs, and heard about their difficulties and suggestions.

The foreign trainees attending the meeting expressed high satisfaction with the center’s state-of-the-art facilities and systematic education system. In particular, they mentioned that having accommodation, medical, and convenience facilities all in one place was very convenient. They also shared their high interest in Korean culture worldwide.

Through such K-Culture educational programs, the ‘Global Culture and Tourism Town Development’ project promoted by Assemblyman Ando-geol is expected to gain further momentum.

The Global Culture and Tourism Town Development aims to establish international-level cultural and tourism infrastructure around Gwangju ACC, developing Dong-gu, Gwangju into a high-quality cultural tourism city and building a foundation for revitalizing the old downtown economy.

As the number of foreign trainees learning K-Culture increases and related industries become active, it is expected to bring great vitality to surrounding tourism industries such as the Asia Culture Center.

Assemblyman Ando-geol said, “Not only cultural exchange through K-Beauty and K-Culture educational programs but also the influx of overseas trainees is expected to bring numerous effects such as solving population decline issues, revitalizing the local economy, and advancing into a global cultural city,” and added, “I ask residents to show much interest and support.”
