In 2024, the first cohort of student diplomats promoted Jeonnam's culture to the international community and practiced the values of peace, coexistence, and mutual prosperity through activities such as a diplomatic competency enhancement camp, participation in the 2024 Korea Glocal Future Education Expo, online diplomatic activities, and glocal projects. In particular, the glocal project conducted in New York and Washington, USA, in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and local organizations, served as an opportunity to demonstrate the international communication skills of Jeonnam students.

At the inauguration ceremony for the 2nd cohort of student diplomats for 2025, newly selected students received their certificates of appointment from Kim Daejung, Chairman of the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation. The 2nd cohort is expected to build a sustainable public diplomacy model by utilizing an expanded global network and to carry out various projects through annual planning with the participation of guest professors. The Jeonnam Student Public Diplomacy School is establishing itself as an educational model where students grow as global citizens through independently planned and executed diplomatic activities, rather than simple international exchanges or experiential events.

Lee Gilhun, President of the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation, stated, "I feel proud to see Jeonnam students growing as glocal leaders on the world stage," and added, "We will provide unwavering support so that the 2nd cohort can actively engage with a spirit of challenge."

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Future Education Foundation plans to expand educational support for nurturing glocal future talents in Jeonnam, so that Jeonnam students can grow into talents who practice peace, coexistence, and mutual prosperity in the global community.
