With this selection, Yangju City has achieved the distinction of being chosen for this project for six consecutive years since 2021.

This project aims to utilize regional national heritage as a resource for historical and cultural education, with the objectives of strengthening local historical identity, fostering creativity and character among citizens, and enhancing public appreciation for national heritage.

The Yangju Hoeamsaji Museum operates three school programs linked to elementary, middle, and high school curricula, as well as one integrated program for the general public, focusing on promoting and educating about the global heritage value of the Yangju Hoeamsaji site.

This year, a nighttime program has been added and the number of sessions for underprivileged groups has been increased, allowing more citizens to experience the diverse aspects of the Yangju Hoeamsaji site.

In 2026, the program titled "Yangju Hoeamsaji! The Breath of a Royal Temple! Reviving as a World Heritage Site!" will be offered as a combination of in-school visits and hands-on classroom experiences. The program will not only cover the Yangju Hoeamsaji site (a national heritage site) but will also be expanded into a convergence program that incorporates the surrounding ecology, providing an even broader range of experiences.

Additionally, as Yangju City ranked among the top in the selection results, it has secured a larger budget than the previous year, which is expected to provide more participants with opportunities for historical and cultural experiences.

Yangju City plans to continue its efforts in regional national heritage education so that local students and citizens can develop greater interest and pride in the Yangju Hoeamsaji site and the region's history.
