On December 22, lectures for parents of elementary school students will include: "Establishing a Time Routine for Our Children" (Professor Kim Dongil) and "Reading Guidance and Children's Literacy" (Professor Choi Naya).

On December 23, lectures for parents of middle and high school students will cover: "Careers in the AI Era: This Is a First" (Professor Lee Chan) and "Self-Directed Learning Strategies" (Professor Shin Jongho).

Those wishing to participate in the lectures can register in advance by scanning the QR code on the poster by December 19. On-site registration will also be available. Seoul National University will provide commemorative gifts to participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

A representative from Seoul National University Siheung Campus stated, "Starting with this lecture, Seoul National University will use its own budget to actively operate programs that directly engage with citizens," adding, "We will expand the scope of the forum to include local issues and policies, thereby strengthening communication with residents."
