To promote traditional play education, Jeonju Cultural Foundation and Jeonju Vision University have joined hands.

On the 19th, at Jeonju Vision University, Jeonju Cultural Foundation (Chairman Woo Beom-gi) and Jeonju Vision University (President Woo Byeong-hoon) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for "Industry-Academia Cooperation for the Activation of Traditional Play Education," with President Woo Byeong-hoon and Choi Rak-gi, the representative director of Jeonju Cultural Foundation, and officials from both organizations in attendance.

According to this agreement, the two institutions agreed to cooperate on various aspects such as providing job information and supporting the recruitment of professional personnel, jointly proposing and supporting the operation of social projects (outsourcing, establishment), supporting volunteer work and on-site training, providing special lectures for students, and supporting institution visits, among other necessary areas.

In particular, students majoring in early childhood education at Jeonju Vision University will conduct volunteer activities for traditional play education at "Our Playground Marudal," operated by Jeonju Cultural Foundation. They also plan to take the lead in developing and promoting programs to effectively utilize traditional play in early childhood education settings.

Professor Lee Young-joo of Jeonju Vision University's early childhood education department expressed hope that through this agreement, prospective teachers and current early childhood educators would activate educational volunteer activities and cultural experiences, thereby increasing understanding of local cultural arts education.

Choi Rak-gi, the representative of Jeonju Cultural Foundation, stated, "Traditional play is a precious cultural heritage that has been passed down for a long time," and expressed his hope that through this agreement, it would serve as an opportunity to pass on traditional play to more children.
