Under this agreement, the three institutions will jointly operate cultural diversity education programs and expand the use of museum educational content. They will also provide educational materials both online and offline, offer cultural diversity education for teachers at local children’s centers nationwide, and work together to expand education programs on a national scale.

The National Museum of Korea will conduct training for participants in educational initiatives operated by CJ Cultural Foundation and CJ Nanum Foundation, as well as for instructors of cultural diversity education. The museum will also provide educational content based on cultural heritage that can be used in the field.

At the center of this collaboration is the "Modu! ABCD" cultural diversity education platform, developed and operated by the National Museum of Korea. This online-based educational platform is designed to help children and adolescents experience the stories and uses embedded in various cultural heritages, learning the values of mutual respect and coexistence by exploring the cultural assets of different countries.

The National Museum of Korea plans to use the platforms and networks of each organization to spread cultural diversity education programs nationwide and to strengthen cooperation and connections in educational content based on cultural heritage.

Yoo Hongjun, Director of the National Museum of Korea, said, "We hope that the museum’s educational content based on cultural heritage will reach even more children and adolescents through the nationwide educational activities of the two CJ foundations."
