This year's festival, under the theme 'Inclusive Future! Connecting Through Questions and Learning,' aims to share an inclusive classroom culture where every student's learning is respected, while collectively exploring the direction of future education that fosters life competencies.

In particular, this event will integrate the 'Elementary and Secondary Question Festival' and the 'Class Sharing Festival.' Attendees will be able to witness firsthand how students learn and grow deeply through the 'Aha! Gyeongbuk Teacher-Student Accompanied Question Grand Festival' for elementary students and the 'Gungri Hanmadang' question exploration event for high school students.

At the main event hall on the second floor of GUMICO, under the theme 'Digital World! Learning Deeper and Enjoying Together,' invited lectures will be held on topics such as in-depth learning based on student-generated questions, literacy, and future education.

On the same floor, 32 booths for class sharing across kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high schools will be operated. Visitors can get an overview of major Gyeongbuk education policies and achievements, such as the Urban-Rural Connection Class, Gyeonggi-Jeonnam-Overseas Linked Remote Video Classes, Provincial Subject Education Research Societies, Boarding Schools, and IB Schools. There will also be opportunities to directly experience and learn from educational practice cases of teacher learning communities organized by subject and theme.

Additionally, 23 subject-specific class sharing rooms for elementary, middle, and high schools will be available across the first to third floors of GUMICO. Outstanding teachers and subject education research societies will share various lesson cases, and opportunities for broad learning will be provided through class exchanges with teachers from other regions such as Daegu and Jeonnam.

For teachers and education professionals unable to attend in person, the event will be broadcast live on the official YouTube channel of the Gyeongbuk Office of Education, 'Matcoolmeotcool TV,' and event materials will also be available on the festival's official website.

Superintendent Lim Jong-sik stated, "This festival will serve as a force not only for classroom change but also for opening the future of education," adding, "I look forward to the warm interest and active participation of the educational community in creating an inclusive future education for all."
