Kwangju Bank (headed by Ko Byungil) announced on the 20th that it recently held the "Dada Camp" (short for "Diverse Multicultural Camp") for four days and three nights at the JB Financial Group Training Institute, Aureum Campus.

Launched in 2023 and now in its fourth session, "Dada Camp" is a core social contribution project of JB Financial Group. It provides students from migrant backgrounds with opportunities to make concrete plans for their dreams and career paths, as well as to gain various cultural experiences.

This year's camp focused on enhancing creative thinking and self-directed learning abilities for 70 middle school students from migrant backgrounds in the Honam region through a variety of programs. The event featured a lecture by author Jo Youngsun, known for the popular book "WHY," to promote scientific thinking; a board game creation activity using gamification; a "Dream Drawing" program; and a career planning session led by Bok Juhwan, CEO of "Thinking Organization Class."

The students enjoyed a performance by the Korean traditional music b-boying team "Lastreet Crew," experiencing the charm of culture that bridges tradition and modernity. On the final day, French traditional Korean musician Mafo Laure was invited to engage in an in-depth discussion about the appeal of Korean culture and traditional music from a foreigner's perspective, allowing students to experience various cultural elements and broaden their international outlook.

A Kwangju Bank representative stated, "Through Dada Camp, we will support students from migrant backgrounds so they can confidently pursue their dreams for the future," adding, "We plan to continue promoting a variety of social contribution projects for the development of the local community."
