A representative example of best practices includes the 'Bbangjeom School,' a collaboration between Jongno-gu and Sungkyunkwan University College of Education during the vacation period, and the 'Blue Cheongwabyeol, Teens Exploration Team,' launched in the second half of this year in partnership with the Blue House Foundation.

The Bbangjeom School embodies the idea of viewing students by their potential rather than test scores. It aims to be a small school led by prospective teachers, offering subject-specific classes, career mentoring, and one-on-one individual activities to nurture the dreams and capabilities of youth. The Teens Exploration Team consists of theoretical classes and missions to learn about the history and significance of the Blue House and the role of the president, receiving enthusiastic responses from participating students.

The special lecture titled "Future Competencies Changing Everyone's Life, Literacy" will be led by Professor Jo Byeong-yeong from the Department of Korean Language Education at Hanyang University College of Education. The leaders' talk sharing the direction of future education will include panelists such as Jongno District Mayor Jeong Munheon, Professor Jo Byeong-yeong, and Underdogs CEO Jo Sang-rae. Additionally, a field workshop "Jongno-gu Blue House No. 1" operated by the Blue House Foundation is scheduled.

From 1 to 5 p.m. on the same day, a 'Major Expo' will be held at the Blue House Chunchoo-gwan Briefing Room. Professors and university students from Sungkyunkwan University and Sangmyung University located in the district will introduce educational curricula and future prospects by major. There will also be career experience opportunities to learn in depth about various majors such as Global Business Administration, Semiconductor Systems Engineering, Global Leadership, Human Intelligence Information Engineering, and Software Engineering.

District Mayor Jeong Munheon stated, "Through this event, we will seek new paths for Jongno education and devote ourselves to promoting meaningful educational projects that help students' dreams and growth."
