This event was selected as part of the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs’ project commemorating the 80th anniversary of liberation. Students, faculty, and the local community participated together in sealing a time capsule, which will be opened in 2045, the 100th anniversary of liberation, making it a meaningful occasion.

The time capsule contains letters and videos addressed to the future 20 years from now, materials on Gangwon Life Science High School’s wellness curriculum and its development in Chuncheon, the future vision dreamed of by the Chuncheon community, and pledges from the students. Through this, students were able to connect historical values with future visions, fostering creative thinking and sound character.

Gangwon Life Science High School has formed a consortium committee for specialized high schools based on business agreements with the Gangwon Special Self-Governing Provincial Office of Education, Chuncheon City Hall, Gangwon Provincial Agricultural Research and Extension Services, Gangwon National University and three other universities, as well as Healience Co., Ltd. and 20 other companies. The school is working to nurture local talent in Chuncheon in cooperation with the community.

This time capsule sealing ceremony also encapsulated the school’s ongoing transformation, educational vision, and future strategies centered on wellness tourism agriculture, delivering an intergenerational message toward the 100th anniversary of liberation.

Principal Kim Jiyeong stated, “This time capsule sealing ceremony served as an educational space where the spirit of previous generations who dedicated themselves to the nation’s independence and freedom, today’s dreams, and hopes for the future come together,” adding, “As a specialized high school operating under partnership agreements, I hope our school’s vision of leading the wellness tourism agriculture sector and the pledges of our students will inspire and instill pride in future students 20 years from now.”
