Wonkwang University (President Park Sung-tae) Ethics Education Institute and Keimyung University (President Shin Il-hee) Keimyung Character Education Institute conducted the 8th joint character education program for students from both universities.

The education program took place on the 23rd and 24th of last month, with a one-night, two-day schedule held at Keimyung University's Seongseo Campus and Myeonggyo Dormitory. The program was designed by integrating the character education programs of the two universities, focusing on interaction and collaboration.

Since signing a character education cooperation agreement, the two institutions have been regularly conducting joint character education programs involving students, professors, and staff since 2017. The education program was based on Wonkwang University's 'Virtue Training' and Keimyung University's 'Global Citizen' program, aiming to cultivate core values of community such as cooperation, consideration, and empathy through practical character education.

Participants reported that through interactions with students from other universities, they gained an understanding and respect for university culture, and realized the importance of consideration while solving problems based on empathy and collaboration.

Meanwhile, Wonkwang University's Ethics Education Institute operates various character education programs including Virtue Training, Ethics Practice Certification System, and Social Contribution Practice Certification System.
