This program was part of the "Global Leader Neighborhood Tour" project organized by the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education and was conducted under the theme, "Welcome, It's Your First Time Meeting a Flight Attendant, Isn't It?"

It was designed to enhance local elementary school students' understanding of the aviation field and to provide them with vivid career experience opportunities. Fourth-grade students from Yeongcheon Elementary School participated in the experience, where, under the guidance of Professor Kim Youngjin, they took part in various hands-on activities related to aviation service work and the roles of flight attendants.

In particular, Kim Seonjeong, a fourth-year student in the Department of Aviation Services, participated as a one-day instructor and conducted practical lessons tailored to the children's level, receiving a highly positive response.

The students directly experienced the duties of a flight attendant through a variety of activities, including in-flight food and beverage service practice, aviation safety education, and in-flight announcements. One elementary school student who participated in the program commented, "It was fun to actually experience what a flight attendant does, and it made me think more about the profession."

Professor Kim Youngjin said, "With the continuous support of the Metropolitan Office of Education, I feel rewarded to be able to offer local elementary school students career exploration opportunities comparable to those in the capital region and to instill a positive perception of the aviation service field. We plan to continue operating a variety of experience programs in collaboration with the local community in the future," he added.
