Jeonju National University of Education (President Park Byung-chun) conducted a hanbok cultural experience education program for 75 fifth-grade students from Jeonju Subsidiary Elementary School from October 21st to 23rd.

This program was planned as part of the National University Cultivation Project, and it was carried out with the participation of prospective teachers from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades of Jeonju University of Education who had completed the 'Hanbok Sewing Education' in October. The program included learning about the history, composition, and types of hanbok, trying on various styles of hanbok such as everyday wear and royal court attire, and practicing aspects like 'putting on in order,' 'tying the strings,' and 'organizing hanbok,' as well as learning about 'hanbok etiquette.'

Students who participated in the experience, such as Kim Harem and Park Junghu from the 5th grade class 1 of Jeonju Subsidiary Elementary School, expressed their enjoyment and amazement at being able to try on various royal court hanbok and deepen their understanding of hanbok's history and beauty.

Prospective teachers from Jeonju University, such as Kim Min-ha, a 2nd-year Physical Education student, and Eom Ik-jong, a 1st-year Practical Arts Education student, shared their impressions, emphasizing the importance of hanbok education for future generations in the context of the growing interest in hanbok domestically and internationally.

Professor Choi Kyung-eun from the Department of Practical Arts Education at Jeonju National University of Education highlighted the significance of hanbok as a genre that goes beyond being just clothing, encompassing culture and art to be enjoyed and appreciated.

The program aims to promote the expansion of hanbok culture by providing hanbok experience education to elementary students in Jeonbuk Special Self-Governing Province. Additionally, further experiences are planned for the elderly in the local community in December.

President Park Byung-chun expressed his hope that through this program, there will be enhanced organic connections between the local community and schools, allowing students to grow by feeling pride in our culture through understanding and experiencing traditional culture.
