This initiative is part of the Yangpyeong Global Talent Development Project hosted by the Yangpyeong County Education Cooperation Center. It is designed to help young people grow into talents equipped with both international awareness and leadership skills.

Participating students will experience a real university education environment by attending lectures on global citizenship, leadership, and collaboration led directly by professors from George Mason University Korea Campus, as well as engaging in parliamentary-style debates, team projects, multicultural understanding, and environmental education.

In particular, this program is not just a simple experiential education but a university-linked global leader course, and it is expected to provide students with practical educational opportunities to develop creative thinking and global communication skills.

Jeon Jinseon, Mayor of Yangpyeong County, stated, "I hope this program will help our local students develop a spirit of challenge and confidence to face the world," adding, "We will continue to expand various educational programs so that young people can take the lead in the international community."
