Held from the 5th to the 9th of this month at Bloomvista in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province, the OnDream Arts Class is a class where teachers and students can participate more enjoyably by integrating techniques and tools from the arts fields such as theater, music, and drama into general curriculum lessons that are mainly theory-based. Additionally, it is a teacher training and talent development program aimed at spreading creative arts education teaching methods that have high student engagement.

This program began in 2017. Since 2022, it has been conducted through a global partnership between ARTIS, a UK creative arts education institution, and Jump, a domestic non-profit educational social venture. The goal is to develop a Korean-style model of creative arts education and to train teachers who will become future educational leaders.

Support from the foundation continues even after the training. Year-round programs include support for small group communities researching creative arts education, online mentoring with ARTIS mentors, and meetings with teachers based on the teacher training content. Outstanding teachers participating in the program are also selected to have the opportunity to demonstrate classes at elementary schools in the UK.

Jung Moo-sung, chairman of the foundation, emphasized, "In accordance with the social contribution philosophy of the founder, Chung Mong-Koo, Honorary Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, who values people, the foundation will strive to enhance the capabilities of teachers who nurture future generations."
