The Korea Arts & Culture Education Service (President Park Eun-sil) announced on the 11th that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation (Chairman Lee Sang-hoon) on the 10th to cooperate in spreading and revitalizing cultural and artistic education within industrial complexes.

Through the agreement, the two organizations will promote ▲friendly mutual cooperation to create an industrial complex environment with culture ▲provision of information and consultation on matters necessary for promoting cultural and artistic education in industrial complexes ▲mutual exchange and cooperation of tangible and intangible resources ▲continuous mutual cooperation to improve and expand the achievements of the ‘2024 Yesullo Eoullim’ project.

The Korea Industrial Complex Corporation is a specialized institution that creates jobs and a sustainable future centered on companies through the development and management of industrial complexes and support for corporate growth.

Going forward, the two organizations plan to cooperate to provide cultural and artistic education, performances, and other opportunities to enjoy culture and arts to employees of resident companies mainly in major industrial complexes nationwide, and to expand the cultural base of industrial complexes.

This year, the Arts & Culture Education Service is promoting ‘2024 Yesullo Eoullim’ as a new policy project for residents in culturally vulnerable and depopulated areas. To expand opportunities for cultural and artistic education participation for workers in industrial complexes, 15 industrial complexes including Namdong National Industrial Complex have been selected so far through cooperation with the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation. With a total national budget of 1.5 billion won, programs are planned and operated using local resources based on the characteristics and narratives of each industrial complex to strengthen the ‘industrial complex with culture.’

Park Eun-sil, president of the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service, said, “The two organizations will cooperate to create an ‘industrial complex with culture’ that guarantees the quality of life for workers and attracts companies and youth,” adding, “Through the spread of cultural and artistic education within industrial complexes, we hope that workers and their families can enjoy culture and arts more closely in their daily lives.”
