Naver announced on the 2nd that it is operating the '2024 Naver Youth Creator School,' which supports the training of youth clip and webtoon creators in collaboration with the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development.

This training program consists of two programs: 'Naver Clip School' and 'Naver Webtoon School.' A total of about 500 middle and high school students nationwide are participating, with online education and a 2-day, 1-night offline camp also being conducted. Naver Clip School runs for a total of 4 sessions from the 11th of last month to the 9th of this month, and Naver Webtoon School runs for 2 sessions from the 16th of last month to the 14th of this month.

At the Naver Clip School camp, education on how to use the Naver Clip editor and clip production practice are provided, while at the Naver Webtoon School camp, webtoon planning and drawing practice are conducted, supporting education focused on practical skills that creators need to have.

Active clip creators and webtoon artists share their experiences through direct lectures on production know-how and intensive mentoring, and Naver staff provide professional advice on the actual creative process from the perspective of youth.

Additionally, Naver holds the camp at 'Naver Square Jongno,' a shared office space provided free of charge to creators, supporting youth to use the studio and video equipment within Naver Square.

Gong Gijung, head of the Naver Education Center, said, "As interest in short-form and webtoon creators is increasing among the MZ generation, we hope this will be an opportunity for youth to receive more practical skills training and enhance their understanding of the creator ecosystem."
