Enhancing Expertise in Visiting Environmental Education
Activities Planned for Kindergartens and Elementary Schools in Busan

The Busan Green Environment Support Center at Pukyong National University (Director: Lee Taeyoon) announced on October 2 that it held the "Marine Environment Activity Group Capacity Building Program" at the Haeundae General Social Welfare Center on September 29.

This program was organized to strengthen the expertise and practical skills of the activity group, in response to the growing importance of marine environment conservation and environmental education for future generations.

The training session was attended by the visiting environmental education activity group and local residents. Sunwook Hong, CEO of East Asia Sea Community Ocean, served as the instructor and gave lectures on topics such as the crisis facing marine life, conservation and restoration efforts, an introduction to marine environmental education teaching materials, and practical methods for preventing and responding to marine litter.

Participants learned a variety of educational content, including the theory of marine litter education, how to use the "Yeolil Saver" textbook for lower elementary students, outdoor practice programs such as "Sea Knights Yeolil Sea Cleanup" and "Urban Knights," and "Wise Practice Methods" that can be applied in daily life. They also acquired methods that can be used in actual educational settings.

The training participants plan to continue their activities as the "Visiting Environmental Education Activity Group," targeting kindergartens and elementary schools in the Busan area in the future.

Lee Taeyoon, Director of the Busan Green Environment Support Center, said, "This program was a meaningful opportunity to widely promote the necessity of marine environment conservation and to lay the foundation for the activity group to grow into professional personnel for community environmental education. Through various support measures, we will expand the base of regional environmental education and contribute to sustainable development."
