Jeonju National University of Education (President Park Byeongchun) operated the 'Seohak-dong Art Village Cultural Interpreter Training Program' as part of the 2025 Regional Innovation-centered University Support System (RISE) project for about a month from November 19 to December 19.

This program was designed to help students understand the history and cultural value of Seohak-dong Art Village and enhance the cultural interpretation skills of students at Jeonju National University of Education. Participating students had the opportunity to experience art production in workshops run by artists, engage in village exploration, and attend special lectures and practical training by cultural interpreters to enhance their interpretation skills that can be applied in the field.

The participating students expressed their impressions, saying, "We felt the role of cultural interpreters in conveying meanings beyond simple tourism to visitors," and "Based on what we learned, we want to contribute to the spread of local culture."

President Park Byeongchun said, "I hope this was a time for students to directly learn and experience the value of a village steeped in tradition and art, fostering educational growth and community consciousness together," and added, "I will continue to create an environment where universities and local communities can grow together."
