The call for proposals covers categories such as ‘Humanities on the Road,’ ‘Wisdom School,’ ‘Youth Humanities Classroom,’ ‘Young Adult Humanities Experiment,’ ‘Middle-aged and Senior Youth Culture Space,’ and ‘Humanities Video Content.’ Approximately 900 humanities programs will be supported with a budget of 10 billion KRW.


While calls for proposals were previously conducted separately by project category, this year they will be integrated into a single call. Additionally, programs must be directly planned by regional cultural foundations or public institutions, and outstanding projects will be selected to support exchanges between regions. Programs ranked in the top 20% based on evaluation results will be guaranteed continuous support the following year.


The selection results are scheduled to be announced at the end of April. Detailed announcements and results can be found in the Humanities Network website section.



Jung Byung-guk, Chairman of the Arts Council Korea, stated, “In a rapidly changing environment, it is important to spread humanities in daily life to realize human identity and values in order to transform the negative social atmosphere caused by feelings of isolation, depression, and loneliness. We will establish an efficient policy support system to socially expand the humanities and become a dedicated institution that provides opportunities to overcome various problems in modern society.”
